I recently decided to pick up and try some of these treats... and now I know that I don't ever need to buy this kind of street cake again! Haha. It was pretty gross... especially since the lady poured (what I think must have been) MSG into the bag before handing it to me.
The plain-looking cake on the right isn't so bad... more tasteless than a bad taste. I believe it's made with coconut milk.
The pastel colorful treats are the gross part. They are gummies and coated with coconut shavings... but the gummy part is no bueno.
Tip: If you're in Vietnam and want to try some street cake... go to a lady who's making pitzel-looking flat waffles and small pyramid-shaped cakes that you can buy in a little bag... now those are delicious. They are usually cooking them right in front of you... on a small burner that is inside one of the baskets connected to the long stick used to carry her 'street cake shop' on her shoulders. There is usually a lady selling such cakes right outside the main post office ...(when facing the post office, she's on the left). :)
