Kaki Lima, literally meaning "five legs," are the local name for street food vendors. I guess, in case you are counting, there are two wheels, the stand, and the two legs of the vendor.
In my neighborhood and others around Jakarta, these stands abound selling everything from durian pancakes to bakso (meatballs) and soup. I have not been brave enough to subject my digestive track to street food yet, but I do like the atmosphere they give the street, making the public streets a common dining room for the community.
