#tbt to Lucca Italian Restaurant in Montego Bay! Authentic Italian #SugaEndorsed

After a great day of Labour Day Shopping in Montego Bay last Saturday with Suga Lifestyle, it was all about Lucca Italian Restaurant (Ig: @luccaitalianrestaurant) for the win!

So happy we finally got to visit.

Lucca Italian Restaurant is in The Annex Plaza Fairview, MoBay which is fairly modern, but inside the Restaurant gives you Old Tavern.

Our Server, Lawry was a breath of fresh air after a long day. She knew the menu and her wine cellar inside out, mixed great Cocktails and managed to be professional, but gave us a few laughs at the same time.

Their Focaccia starter with sautéed Mushroom (US$10.50) was one of the best Focaccia I’ve ever had. Focaccia doesn’t need to be drowned in Rosemary folks.

Hubby had the Rosse Pasta (US$12.60), which was an interesting, but tasty mix of a tomato sauce and a cream sauce with Shrimp and I thoroughly enjoyed the Chef’s Special Risotto with shrimp (US$20.60).

Authentic Italian with excellent service and affordable prices. We would definitely revisit Lucca Italian Restaurant. #SugaEndorsed

Rainforest Caribbean Brought the Sea to ROK Hotel Kingston last Friday!

Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga with Award-Winning Chef Volae Williams at ROK Hotel Kingston’s Seafood Buffet with Rainforest Caribbean last Friday.
[Dress: EtAl]

TGIF was an understatement. Thank you Rainforest Caribbean and the Award-Winning Chef Volae Williams and his team at ROK Hotel Kingston by the ROKStone Grill for a spectacular Seafood Buffet Experience spanning about 7 stations.

Suga Highlights? Check them out here!

Jerked Octopus with scotch bonnet citrus herbed butter


– My targeted, ‘meaty’ Jerked Octopus with adequate heat from scotch bonnet citrus herbed butter
– Hubby’s fave, Ceviche by the Raw Bar was on point
– Enjoyable selection of traditional and Jamaican rolls by the Sushi and Nigiri station
– The Mixed Seafood Pasta! I’m gonna tell you about it!
– The Strawberry Macaroons and rich Chocolate Log Cake were perfection. Definitely worth the calories.

Chef Volae told Suga they made a special effort to bring out the taste of the flavour of Rainforest Caribbean’s Seafood and of course you can’t do that by piling on a sauce. So hubby and I definitely appreciated their mixed seafood tossed in fettuccine with sundried tomatoes in a very light Mondavi Wine, butter and garlic sauce. Surely the Fit Happens with Gabby way. Nailed it!

All you can eat for J$10,000 with a live band and wait staff that we gave an A for effort. This experience was definitely value for money, especially as we continuously strive to revive Downtown, Kingston.

Same time, same place each month Chef Volae, ROK Hotel Kingston and Rainforest Caribbean? We’ll see!

XoXo,
Suga

Eat Well, Drink Well at DLE Cafe in Fairview Town Centre, Montego Bay!

Had a quick pass through Montego Bay last Wednesday and I kept it healthy, finally getting to stop by DLE Cafe (Ig: @dlecafe)!

Check out a clip from my visit here:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C34-BseuSt1/?igsh=YnNhN2ljc3B4cmU0

As you enter, you will see a sign showing that basically Good Food takes Time. Definitely freshly made, cooked to order. So if hungry, call ahead. They have THE widest range of healthy options.

Quite a clean, cosy atmosphere with a handful of in and out diners. I observed that most persons picked up their orders and the staff were polite and professional.

I had the Bad Ass Black Bean Burger with their own signature dressing in a Sprouted Spelt Burger Bun (J$2000);
Baked Sweet Potato Fries that were air-fried and tossed in Cinnamon and Paprika (J$700);
Immune Booster Smoothie with Spinach, Kale, Celery, Lime/Lemon Juice, Ginger and Ginger (J$950)

Hubby had the Chicken Fettuccine (whole wheat) in Pesto Scotchy White Wine topped off with parmesan cheese (J$2800).

Great flavours with a touch of spicy and we left feeling full and satisfied.

Invest in your well being. If in Montego Bay, Eat Well and Drink Well at DLE Cafe.

We Got Early Dibs at Chive Restaurant for V-Day! Where Did You Go?

I Ain’t gonna lie, we werecomatosed from Chive Restaurant (Ig: @chivejamaica) yesterday.

Check out the highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3WAw0COEUp/?igsh=cTg3MTA1MTk0ZHps

We went for a late brunch close to 1pm, but ended up ordering from their V-Day Menu.
We had our usual Appetizer Faves, Chive style Mussels and Marlin Canapes, followed by a Savoury Seafood Risotto and Whole Lobster Themidor. Chive dishes thrive with Herbs and the right amount of Spice. We thoroughly enjoyed it all and since we sighted the freshly made Desserts from we walked in, we saved space.

Tiramisu for me, where ladyfingers that were not spared and a decadent, Rich Chocolate Cake for Mr. Suga.

Then homeward bound to our Pawlentine, AnnieB

Hope you had a good one, but remember to Love Everyday, starting with Yourself first.

XoXo,
Suga

Great way to start the New Year with Breakfast at Middleton Cafe!

Cool, fresh Blue Mountain air, warm hospitality and freshly made, tasty breakfast with rich, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

Persons seem to be slowly getting back into their routines for the New Year, so this may be the last weekend for a bit of R and R before the real hustle and bustle plus back to school begins.

Head on up to Middleton Cafe (Ig: @middleton_cafe_bar) about 45 minutes from Papine.

Go early to catch the Jamaican Breakfast, but we got there a bit after 10:30am and our Omelettes were awesome. Loved that I could customize and substitute the Cheddar Cheese with Mozzarella.

Princess AnnieB was on her best behaviour and there were diners, but it was not crowded. They have a simple, very affordable menu and we were so comfortable. Looking forward to stopping by again soon.
