  • Every Saturday and Sunday, I help my grandmother make cakes to sell at the market. My grandmother is good at making cakes wrapped in banana leaves, such as ansom chek rolled banana rice cakes, ansom chrouk rolled pork rice cakes, num kom steamed sweet rice cakes, and num thmei salty bean paste rice cakes, which are delicious. People in her village buy her cakes for wedding ceremonies; for Phchum Ben, a 15-day festival for honoring our ancestors; and for other festivals. We should help promote our traditional Khmer cakes.
