The Perfect Start to Spring with Venezuelan Cuisine at EITS Cafe, Irish Town!

#fbf to Last Sunday to Brunch & Beats at EITS Cafe in Irish Town, Kingston (Ig: @17milepost)!

This staging of Brunch & Beats featured authentic Venezuelan Cuisine by Chef Ines and upbeat Venezuelan music by Sherkhan.

Watch Suga’s Highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHwZXx5SWiY/?igsh=b2IzeXZ4cndqa3ky

The Menu kept signature dishes of EITS as options such as the Barrel Roasted Chicken, Curry Goat and their Ackee & Callaloo with fried Sweet Plantain made a Specialty Arepa! They did notttt disappoint, although I prefer my Curry Goat to be spicier.

The shredded Beef Specialty Arepa was wholesome and amazing!

We enjoyed all courses from start to finish, even if there were waits between, actually necessary to make room for more! I felt like I could have been happily rolled off the hill afterwards.

The Quesilla (Venezuelan Flan) was similar in taste to a Panna Cotta and the hints of Jamaican Rum in the sauce was delish.

A refreshing day in spring and a perfect reset for the week ahead.

*Reservations Recommended* They are closed this weekend for Light Renovations.

It’s Like Our Very Own Chipotle, It’s Chop’d!

It’s like our very own Chipotle, it’s Chop’d (Ig:@chopdja)!

We finally got another Healthy, Fast-Food option that we need! Centrally located in Loshusan, Barbican, you can do a quick pick up or sit down to have a bite and take a break from your busy day.

I’ve been during and after the busy lunch hour. I’m happy to say that their team is working faster and you get your options in good time. There are soooo many options!

Check out Suga’s Highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHbHbuxxR_U/?igsh=MXJxajVzY2d3NmozNQ==

Ideally you should get a quick breakdown according to your fave, but until then, you can do your own. What are you feeling for? What do you prefer? Salad, Bowl, Sandwich or Wrap? Then take it from there! First timers can take a glance at the Menu board for full descriptions, then grab a card to tick off your order. Remember you are NOT at Dim Sum, it adds up!

Suga has been loving Bowls recently. The Baja Bowl (J$1900) is my fave so far with a Grain blend base, cilantro lime cream, black beans, corn, pickled pineapple, sweet peppers, fresh tomato salsa, cilantro & avocado when in available/in season OR you are free to choose chopped apples etc. Loveeee that you can add hard boiled Egg (J$200/$380) & the other Protein Add-Ons are pretty good too such as Chop’d Herb Chicken (J$450/$855), Flaked Salmon (J$650/$1235) or Beef Filet ($750/$1425)…2-oz is still fulfilling.

Sandwich person? Chicken Salad Sammy with Cran-Apple Pecan (J$1700).

Wraps your thing? The Honey Mustard Salmon BLT (J$2100) is flavourful & fantastic.

Of course there are Salad Lovers here…so many options, you can build your own (J$1450 w/ 4 essentials + your Add ons).
Conservatively, it can take you J$2500 without meat & J$3000 with meat.

Top things off with refreshing Iced Tea laced with the berry & flavour of choice for the day.

Great Food Quality. Love the Transparency of the Prep Process and to see that everything is kept as fresh as possible.

Having guests over and need to grab some tasty Bites, dips, sauces, Charcuterie options, Chocolate + a side of bubbly, you name it, they got it. They have the cutest market products. Most importantly, supporting Brand Jamaica too.

Even if it’s not your Economical Everyday Stop, treat yourself at Chop’d!

Have a Healthy Day!

TGIF! Where would you rather be?  Ivan’s at Catcha Falling Star, Negril

No need for reservations or to be a guest staying at Catcha Falling Star, Negril to dine there. Still call ahead to see if it is ok to go, as sometimes it is the place of choice for Destination Weddings and more.

Casual, comfortable dining with great service, tasty food, delish cocktails and a magnificent view. Parking is available on Property, but limited.

It was great to revisit. When in Negril, Visit Ivan’s.

Have a Great Weekend !

#tbtAug2015 at Stush in the Bush Moonlight IYKYK… Honoured to be a part of the Journey!

…Stumbled upon this photo searching for something in my Google Drive.

My late Dad who lived in Atlanta enjoyed reading my Restaurant Reviews and Culinary Experiences.

As I saved the screenshot from September 3, in addition to a publication with me featured in The Jamaica Observer who covered the 2nd Moonlight staging, and a link to read my review on my website, it was the last pic I shared with him over Google Talk. He said “Wonderful. Go Girl, Love”

A Memorable Moment in more ways than one.

Visit Stush in the Bush (Ig: @stushinthebush) in Priory, St. Ann, where the experience no longer costs US$80 :), but you will be taken on a journey through food, where Love is the main ingredient. An invaluable experience that you will gladly relive over and over again.

*Reservations/by Bookings only via their website*

#tbt to Celebrating Being Blessed to have Kamila’s Kitchen for Vegetarian!

Suga visited the Award-Winning Kamila’s Kitchen (Ig: @kamilaskitchen_ja) at their New Location in the Marketplace in her celebratory month of June and it did not disappoint!

Check out Highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_iKDQ2O_Rf/?igsh=c29jd2FtdWtsanVs

The Restaurant was full and the Service was quick.

Being a creature of habit sometimes, I went for my favourite, the Glow Bowl, which had a special spin on it that day, where Fricasse Mushroom was the highlight! A burst of colours and flavours. I can’t believe it’s Vegetarian!

To make things complete, I had Fruits my way with their delish, satisfying Very Berry Smoothie.

As the kids head back to school, take advantage of feeding their brains with WellFit Foods and Wellness (Ig: @wellgoodja) products available at Kamila’s Kitchen, MarketPlace… Spicy Vegan Cheese, Coconut Yogurt and Walnut Lentil Meat!

Create your own version of Kamila’s Kitchen’s Best New Gastronomy Experience in your homes and feel Guilt-Free.

Also, for a Back to School Relief Weekend, head up to their Skyline Levels location next Saturday, September 14 for Restaurant Round Robin! Make your Reservations. Call +1 876-671-2336.

The Craveable, Plant-based, Dairy- Free, JAMAICAN Kamila’s Kitchen continues to be #SugaEndorsed

XoXo,
Suga
