Story & history

Madieer Ice Pops and Harbin’s Winter Tradition

On Harbin’s Central Street, Madieer ice pops are a treat in winter as well as summer. The cold-drinks hall associated with the historic Madieer Hotel is part of that street-food tradition. The classic recipe combines sugar, milk and egg, giving the original-flavour bar its creamy character.
