The 'Orange' cake (named for its shape, not flavor) — crispy, deep-fried glutinous rice balls coated in sesame seeds and stuffed with a 'sweet' mung bean paste; the exterior must be golden and shatteringly crisp, while the interior remains chewy and hollowed; found in almost every neighborhood 'Grilli' or street stall, it is the definitive Cambodian afternoon treat, offering a textural contrast that defines Khmer confectionery.
