Modern Ice Cream Bar

The Modern ice cream bar is an old-fashioned ice stick made chiefly of milk, cream and egg yolk, with no additives, pale ivory in colour, richly milky and fine-textured, melting on the tongue.

The Modern ice cream bar comes from the Modern Hotel on Harbin's Central Street, founded in 1906, whose French restaurant first served this rich handmade ice stick; it has endured for over a century as the signature snack of Central Street.

Even in the depths of a Harbin winter, locals love to walk down Central Street with a Modern ice cream bar in hand, its milky richness and cold creaminess a must-do rite of the street.

Its pure ivory colour, intense milk aroma, melting-fine texture and the century-old Modern Hotel name behind it are the marks of this ice cream bar.
