Here is the famous Mardiel cold drink hall, although it is winter, wearing a thick down jacket, but also buy a Mardiel ice cream, feel the charm of Mardiel popsicles.
Madiel on Central Street has become an attraction. There is a small stall at the entrance of the store selling small things such as ice cream bread. I saw a lot of people from afar. I really bought a sugar gourd if I couldn’t get the ice cream.
The Mardiel Cold Drink Hall is on a street corner in the middle of Central Street. In addition to the long queue for Huameixi Restaurant to buy Grand Leba, the Mardiel door is also a long queue, loving the original flavor and chocolate flavor, with milky fragrance.
There are two kinds of popsicles, the 5 yuan one with a stronger vanilla cream flavor, and the 3 yuan one with a lighter flavor. The cold drink shop has ice cream from 10 yuan and yogurt from 5 yuan, as well as ice cream, which is also recommended, but it is hot in summer and the open air conditioning is not enough. There is a food stall at the door, and the ice cream with barbecue tastes very good~ The service staff is very good, warm and thoughtful.
Madiel Cold Drink Hall: The biggest highlight on Central Street. Whether in winter or summer, as long as you see a queue of people, it is the takeaway window of Madiel Cold Drink Hall---the most popular product is Madiel's homemade traditional vanilla cream popsicle at 5 yuan each. The popsicle is very large, soft, and has a strong milky aroma. You can't stop eating it after one bite. There is only a long booth in the cold drink hall, which is a small part of the Madiel Hotel building. All the products sold are Madiel's homemade products, homemade yogurt, various breads, various sausages, and ice cream. From morning to night, there is an endless stream of people, and the cold drink hall is always full. If you want to find a seat to experience it, you may have to wait for about 30 minutes. Although there are seats in the room inside, and snacks such as fried chicken are sold, sitting in the hall outside, with an old-fashioned electric fan rotating above your head, tearing bread and breaking red sausages in your hands, and yogurt and ice cream on the side, this nostalgic feeling is not something you can experience in every place. . .
A business card of Harbin, you must eat popsicles and yogurt from Madiel when you come to Harbin. You can buy them first and take them later. Find a seat by yourself. The decoration in the cold drink hall is very retro, with leather seats. It feels like it was like this many years ago. People can sit on both sides. If it is the peak tourist season, it is estimated that it is very difficult to find a seat. Please help yourself. The popsicles are sweet but not greasy, and the ice is fragrant. There are two kinds in total, 3 yuan and 5 yuan. More people buy the 5 yuan one. The 3 yuan one is usually at the back. The yogurt is freshly brewed, and it tastes especially good when you add sugar by yourself. Madiel bread is small and delicious. The candied haws here are also very delicious in winter.
Another must-try old Russian restaurant on Central Avenue. Personally, I feel that it is not as popular as the opposite Messi. Basically, you don't have to wait for a table. The environment is also decorated in the style of the 1960s. Someone is playing music. The special dish - borscht is unpalatable, and the fried chicken is salty, which may not suit my southern taste. The beef in a pot feels like the stewed beef brisket with carrots and potatoes that we usually eat, which is average. The average price per person is also about 100. Personally, I think Messi tastes better.
In Harbin, where the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero, you can play on the frozen Songhua River during the day, drink Harbin Beer on Central Avenue, eat Madiel ice cream and red sausage and bread, have afternoon tea at Lucia Western Restaurant, and visit the Sophia Cathedral at night... a fairy-tale world of ice and snow!
