June 2016 - Restaurant Botanica - Hunter Valley Wine Region Australia - This year, I celebrated 

my birthday with my darling sister Lora at award-winning restaurant Botanica situated in the famous Hunter Valley Wine Region. Restaurant Botanica features modern Australia cuisine which was distinct in style and highlights the freshness of their own seasonal produce. We had a wonderful time dining at the restaurant together with girlfriend Katrina Lim and enjoyed beautiful views through the glass windows that looked out into the vastness of the vineyards. We also found some cute little pigs at the back of the restaurant near where we parked our cars and they were making loud snort noises at us demanding food I guess! The food and ambience were excellent especially the dessert tasted simply divine!

My dearest sister, Lora Christelle Lim, brought me to this beautiful restaurant in the heart of Hunter Valley. This place looks very English from both the inside and outside. It is slightly woody and very airy. It looks very spacious as they used a lot of glass to allow natural sunlight to seep into the place.

Modern Australian yet regionally distinctive in style, the menu at Restaurant Botanica is focused on seasonality and freshness, perfectly complemented by an award-winning wine list and stunning views looking out across our private vineyard to the Brokenback Mountain Range. The restaurant’s very own kitchen garden is the source of many of the herbs and vegetables that add a wholesome and healthy dimension to the dishes.

Restaurant Botanica is thrilled to have been awarded Best for Romance in the 2015 Dimmi Awards and Two Wine Glasses in the 2014 Gourmet Traveller Wine List of the Year Awards.

This place was an excellent place to celebrate my birthday. 

I loved how my birthday dessert, the dark chocolate cake and caramel ice cream melted into my mouth. For our appetizers, we had delicious mushroom soup and soft warm bread from the chef.

I had the scallops for my starters and beef cheeks for my main. I love beef cheeks, its my favourite! 

Lora ordered the Ocean Trout for her main course. 

After our meals, we took a stroll around the scenic vineyards just outside this restaurant. 

We also went to check out the Hunter Valley Chocolate Factory situated nearby!

Thank you for this beautiful and memorable celebration Lora. Love ya~

SYDNEY - NEWCASTLE - Lora Christelle Lim's Birthday Dinner at Scratchleys On the Wharf - I had a simple birthday dinner celebration with a few girlfriends who are doctors at John Hunter Hospital where we indulged in fresh seafood and enjoyed dining with beautiful views of Newcastle Harbour. It was my first time at Scratchleys On The Wharf which is an award-winning and an iconic restaurant in Newcastle. I was very happy to have a few girlfriends who took time off to meet and celebrate with me.

It was my first time at Scratchleys On the Wharf, so I requested that the waitress recommend us what good dishes to order. We ended up ordering the Hot & Cold Seafood Platter for 2 (AUD$121), Char Grilled Hot & Cold Seafood Platter for 2 (AUD$133) and a Roasted Vegetables Frittata (AUD$32) to share and we could not finish all the food in the end. If you love fresh seafood and enjoy dining with a view, do check out their menu here http://www.scratchleys.com.au/pdf/menu-alacarte.pdf

For my birthday this year, I was given a Chocolate Fudge birthday cake bought from SNOWS Artisans Bakers located in Marketown Shopping Centre in Newcastle, NSW. It is one of the best Chocolate Cake I ever had and if you love chocolate as much as I do, you got to try this! I love how the birthday cake was shaped like a chocolate rose. Very beautiful and yummy :)
