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.

Did You See the New Review?! Visit Kingston’s Own Negril on the Hill!

Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga of Suga Lifestyle with Suga Taster, Tennyson Arnold and Kamila’s Kitchen, Kamila McDonald on October 13, 2022 at Kamila’s Kitchen by Skyline Levels, Jack’s Hill.

Skyline Levels, Jacks Hill is now the home of Kamila’s Kitchen (Ig: @kamilaskitchen_ja)!

Check out highlights from Suga’s ‘Visit Kingston’s own Negril on the Hill! Thank Jah It’s Friday!’ Visit and Promo here:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=FwkIiybzyAc&feature=share

Kamila’s Kitchen has been in the works for some time now, but officially opened in April of this year, with Kamila McDonald picking up where her parents left off, taking full advantage of the fact that Vegetarian and Vegan Food is now trending.

There IS a McDonald Farm, but not an old one. 🙂 It’s growing with the Kitchen and meals are Farm to Fork.

This was great news for me because whenever I wanted to detox, no meat & no sweet for a week, but also avoid tasteless Vegetarian, I could order meals from Kamila’s Kitchen to be delivered to my doorstep. Delicious, flavourful, V-Ital, filling food. My fave? The Trinity Glow bowl with Sesame-Cauliflower, BBQ Veggie Bounce, Roasted chickpeas on a bed of mixed greens with Quinoa. Yum!

Kamila’s fave is the new loaded Nachos. Eye-catching and spicy! Jalapeños with Walnut Meat and more?! I can’t believe it’s not Beef!

Loaded Nachos

The crowd faves? Everything, but the Black and Boasie Burger with airfried breadfruit chips is always a hit, the Jerkshroom Wrap and of course the new loaded Nachos.

Jerkshroom Wrap

A bit over a month ago, Suga Taster, Tennyson and I headed up to Skyline Levels and had a full, conscience free spread including Skyline Sushi (I can’t believe it’s not Eel!) topped off with ‘Cheesecake’. They make their own cheese too. #SugaSnaps

Skyline Sushi

Have Kamila’s Kitchen excite you with food, flavours, textures and sauces that are homemade, farm to fork and in line with what your body needs!

Water is life, but Natural juices are also available and our good ol’ Jamaican Beers.

Kamila’s Kitchen is sure to be on the map soon for every backpacker and our own locals to escape to a different side of the Hills, greeted with tables adorned with fabrics from Tanzania. Chase the sunset and embrace captivating views.

Check out Thank Jah It’s Friday from 4PM – 10:30PM for a cool, chilly night under the stars and live Music on some of their Saturday nights.

V-Ital Food, Good Music and Good Vibes. Jamaica is not a real place. It’s an Experience. Head to Kamila’s Kitchen at Skyline Levels where you can eat healthy and guilt free, living a rough life easy. Balance and Levels! Kamila’s Kitchen is #SugaEndorsed.

Suga Taster, Kimberly Nesbeth

During Love in the Time of Corona, EITS Cafe has been offering Door Step Dining. There are usually two Soup options and six Meal options, in addition to some fun treats such as Pesto, Herb Butter and Cookies.

20200418_202537

There are also refreshing and simple Salads. There are suggested combinations and an option to build your own Salad, which is what I ordered.

20200418_202521

There are quite a few options you can choose from, and part of the fun is switching it up so that you’re not having the same Salad every day.

The Salads are fresh and tasty🙌🏾

Suga’s Highlights from International Women’s Day at CWC’s Wine Pairing Soirée

20200310_035750

Sunday’s cool, breezy afternoon was perfect for savoury bites and bubbly to celebrate International Women’s Day and contribute to the Canadian Women’s Club of Jamaica’s outreach projects.

Harbour Wines and Spirits and Select Brands provided ideal pairings for offerings from EITS Café, Tea Tree Creperie, Raffaele’s Gourmet Pizzeria, Fromage, Chez Maria, Uncorked, Cannonball Café and Chocolate Dreams.

Everything was delightful but of course there were a few standouts. 

EITS Café

It’s always a pleasure to be around Robyn Fox and her hospitable team from EITS Café. Their Black Olive Bammy Bruschetta with Feta Cheese, Red Onion and Caramelized Onions was quite appetizing while paired with one of my fave’s, the Kung Fu Girl Riesling provided by Select Brands. Its apricot, white peach, honeysuckle aromas balanced out the sharpness of the Feta.

Fromage

20200310_050526
Fromage’s Oxtail Arancini Balls.

Fromage’s Oxtail Arancini Balls were divine with Harbour Wines’ Ménage à Trois Bourbon Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon. That wine was unforgettable from the Table Talk Observer Food Awards last year.

Then their Chèvre Canapés with fig glazed walnuts paired with Rosé was such a treat. The light, fluffy texture with the touch of sweet was perfection.

Kudos to Lisa Chin and her team. #SugaSnaps

Chez Maria

Chez Maria’s Vegetarian Pumpkin Kibbeh Cups.

Chez Maria’s Vegetarian Pumpkin Kibbeh Cups with hummus on top was both healthy and scrumptious. The winner for seconds if watching your calories. They were paired with Select Brands’ Primal Roots California Red.

Guess who’s going into Catering? – Cannonball Café

Cannonball’s Antipasto Skewer with Lomo, Olive, Tomato, Mozzarella and Mushroom Tortelini was a myriad of flavours that balanced each other well and even further with Harbour Wines’ Columbia Crest Cabernet Sauvignon.

Chocolate Dreams

Pistacio Chocolate Bites from Chocolate Dreams.

You have to top off the evening with some sweet! I didn’t mind the spicy either. Chocolate Dreams outdid themselves with their Scotch Bonnet Caramel Fudge and Pistacio Chocolate Bites. Their entire spread was worth the calories. If you like sweet wines, the Roscato Sweet Red courtesy of Harbour Wines was a great choice.

Great evening filled with Vino, Savoury bites and Beautiful Women. Value for money with Proceeds to a great cause. Well done Canadian Women’s Club of Jamaica. #SugaEndorsed
