And don’t forget to drop by Baby Central’s superstore in Aberdeen when you get the chance… it’s our fave place for stocking up on all your baby essentials and chilling at the cafe with other mamas whilst the little ones play (read our full scoop on the store here).When: Website discount code ends 14 May
Where: Baby Central, 7/F, BT Centre, 23 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Aberdeen, Hong Kong; www.babycentral.com.hk
Us mamas know that sometimes if we want an extra-special treat, we have to take matters into our own hands. If you have a sneaking suspicion that Mother’s Day has slipped your partner’s mind, we recommend making a reservation for a luxurious Sunday brunch at Bloom. Feast on an appetizer and dessert buffet (complete with chocolate fountain!) and receive a family or self-portrait from their caricature artist. After all, righteous indignation doesn’t feel so good on an empty stomach!When: 13 May 11am-4pm
Where: Bloom, 5/F LKF Tower, 33 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong. Call 2810 6166 or email [email protected] for reservations.
How much: $650 for adults (a little eye-watering we admit!), $450 for 4-11 year olds and kids under 3 eat free!
