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~

Location: Hunter Valley Wine Region 

Photographer: Wayne Kelly

SYDNEY - Hunter Valley Wine Region - The Hunter Valley Wine Region is a must visit for those who are visiting Sydney, Australia and is only located approximately 2 hours drive away. It is a place famous for gourmet food and fine wine, the "perfect" place for a relaxing short getaway. It is Australia's most visited wine region with more than 150 top-class wineries, vineyards, cellar doors as well as award-winning restaurants. For more info, do check out this website at http://www.huntervalleyvisitorcentre.com.au/#&panel1-1

Newcastle to Hunter Valley - As I am living in Newcastle, the Hunter Valley is only 1 hour drive away from my home. We always bring my dalmatian puppy Dotti to the Hunter Valley for beautiful walks in the vast greenery. We love driving our Supercars to the Hunter Valley wine region and enjoy the magnificent vistas and to taste the exceptional gourmet produce.

Lora's Pre-Wedding Photo-shoot with her Ferrari - Special thanks to photographer Wayne Kelly for taking such beautiful photos for us despite the slight drizzle. We really love the photos as they turn out so amazingly stunning! I love the angles Wayne helped position us strategically to capture the best moments we had. It was a memorable photo-shoot with Wayne Kelly. Thank you!

SYDNEY - Ferrari Club Australia Drive to Hunter Valley :)

SYDNEY - I flew to Sydney for 3 days to attend the Ferrari Club Australia "Christmas" at Hunter Valley. It was approximately a 2.5 hours drive from Sydney's International Airport.

We stayed 1 night at Hunter Valley at the most popular Mercure Resort Hunter Valley Gardens hotel ( http://www.mercurehuntervalley.com.au/ ) which was conveniently located beside the famous Hunter Valley Gardens. Our hotel suite had a lovely bathtub, a private balcony and we could park our car just outside our door.  We got scolded by our neighbours due to the noise from the Tubi exhaust from the Ferrari in the night while parking at 10pm as it is really very quiet at Hunter Valley but to lighten things up, a rather big duck walked into my room as I accidentally left my door open the next morning after getting back from breakfast! Life is so interesting isn't it?

Read all about my previous visit to the Hunter Valley Gardens and the Storybook Gardens at http://thesgsisters.blogspot.sg/search/label/Hunter%20Valley%20Gardens

I was delighted as I finally received my Ferrari Club Nametag! Also, I wore my new Ferrari Polo Tee and Cap which I bought recently from the Ferrari Store at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore :)

Each event held by Ferrari Club Australia was well-organized and executed. It was an enjoyable drive and I made several new friends at this event. This time, there was a beautiful white Ferrari 458 and the car was such a beauty! Everyone was admiring the F458. 

I guess the main attraction of Hunter Valley are the famous vineyards and wine-tasting. As I don't drink alcohol, I was mainly looking forward towards eating the delicious and fresh food cooked by the various famous chefs. I also met some lovely girls during this event who are nice and friendly! All the girls were wearing long black sexy boots but I was wearing my Red Salvatore Ferragamo shoes. I guess it's time for me to buy a pair of boots too as the weather is getting colder in Winter :X

Many people turned up for this drive I guess for the wine-tasting! Look at all the beautiful Ferraris! We took this photo at the vineyard :)

The Ferrari Club Dinner and Drinks were held at Peppers Guest House at CHEZ POK Restaurant that prides itself to provide unique dining experience that showcases the best of Hunter Valley's great food and wine growing flavours. More info at http://www.peppers.com.au/guest-house/dining/ The food was pretty delicious and service was attentive! There was nice ambience and music playing in the background too :) A must visit restaurant at Hunter Valley!

During my trip to Sydney, we also went to look at a few Lamborghinis as we are thinking of buying one. So far, it has been pretty difficult to find an ideal yellow Lamborghini so I guess we have to wait patiently or settle for a different color :X Seems like all good things needs to wait...

I also managed to find time to catch up with my girlfriends back in Sydney City. We had lunch then coffee & tea at the beautiful Glass Brasserie inside Hilton Hotel. More info about this amazing restaurant http://www.glassbrasserie.com.au/

I also had a lovely dinner at MANTA restaurant located at Woolloomooloo Wharf where the crabmeat pasta and truffle shaved fries tasted heavenly! This is a fantastic place if you want a quiet and romantic dinner with your loved ones! More info at http://www.mantarestaurant.com.au/

Overall, it was a wonderful short trip to Sydney :)
