Nostalgic treats
Rhubarb and Custard, Pink Shrimps, Flying Saucers and Fruit
Salads… are you feeling nostalgic? UK expats may remember
these traditional British sweets, and now everyone can get
them here. Asia’s first Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe recently
opened, bringing a taste of Britain to Hong Kong. Choose
from more than 1,000 confectionery products ranging from
nostalgic raspberry bonbons and iconic Wham Bars, to
contemporary handmade chocolates, toffees and fudges.
The shop will appeal to everyone sweet-toothed and bring
back fond memories for Brits who spent their pocket money in
old-school sweet shops. Treat yourself at 37 Lyndhurst Terrace,
Central, or learn more at www.mrsimms.hk.

Diapers & downward dog
Childcare and exercise have always been a
balancing act for mums. With Gecko Yoga’s
new baby classes, mums and babies can
strike a pose in a calming studio, letting mums
focus on themselves while bonding with their
baby. At these sessions, downward dogs and
warrior poses are performed with, above or
carrying baby. Sessions build up knowledge,
ensuring mums learn a new or helpful
technique weekly. Baby yoga sessions are
held at the purpose-built Vichara Project, at
1/F, 49 Staunton Street, Soho. Classes run for
60 minutes, and are available in blocks of
five or ten. Click www.geckoyoga.com .
