An ice cream maker created 'lucky' Chinese dragon and lion-shaped ice lollies in praises of Bangkok's historic Chinatown.

Sirikanya Harnpachernchoke, nicknamed Namtarn, owner of the brand 'Pop Icon 3D Ice Cream,' introduced two new additions to her selection of elabourately shaped frozen treats - the 'Lucky Lion' and 'Green Dragon' flavours.

Namtarn said the new products were inspired by the Yaowarat Road, a major artery of Bangkok's Chinatown said to be a melting pot of Chinese and Thai cultures.

Being of Thai and Chinese descent herself, Namtarn said she wanted to pay homage to Yaowarat Road by incorporating elements associated with it in the popsicles' design.

She made the new ice lollies with 'auspicious' Chinese iconography, including gold coins, jade, peony flowers, and green tea.

The 'Green Dragon' ice cream is dyed jade - a prized precious stone among the Chinese - and flavoured with green tea. While the pink 'Lucky Lion' lolly was inspired by the Chinese New Year, and is flavoured with pomegranates and tangerines - round fruits believed to bring good fortune.

The treats are available at Pop Icon 3D Ice Cream along Plaeng Nam Road in Bangkok, Thailand.

Namtarn's ice cream became a hit with locals for their intricate shapes. Before making the Chinese-inspired lollies, her brand had previously become popular for its temple-shaped ice cream, with a floral geometric pattern resembling the design of the Wat Arun temple in Bangkok.

Bangkok was a sleepy trading town in Siam but underwent rapid development with the influx of immigrants from China, who brought with them a more business-orientated culture.
