To mark the imminent beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival this Saturday, the nation’s second-most important Chinese holiday after the Chinese New Year, 22-year-old Apsara employee Kun Rita arranges moon cakes near Phnom Penh’s O’Russei Market. The cakes are usually filled with lotus-seed paste and are traditional fare during the festival, which takes place on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar – a time when the moon is at its fullest.
