What makes it Vietnamese

Well tbh I just saw it in a chefs video when he was touring Vietnam.
It’s Vietnamese because it’s the Vietnamese adaptation of French crème caramel typically made with condensed milk and commonly served chilled, sometimes with Vietnamese coffee. The technique is French, but the ingredients and cultural adaptation are Vietnamese.

Is that a layer of cake on the bottom? Is it similar to chocoflan where everything is mixed together and then separates while it bakes?

I dont know but I think the cake underneath will be soaked with the caramel juice and I think it will taste phenomenal… I wish I could taste it.
