A vendor at Phnom Penh's O'Russey Market sells roast suckling pigs Thursday ahead of the Lunar New Year rush. Suckling pig is a very popular dish on Lunar New Year - which starts today - and dozens of impromptu stalls selling pigs and other popular Chinese fare such as smoked duck, have sprung up across the capital. Although not officially a public holiday, the Kingdom's sizable Chinese community means that many restaurants and businesses close down for the week.
