Kueh Bangkit
Kueh Bangkit are traditional melt-in-your-mouth coconut cookies, often enjoyed during festive seasons like Chinese New Year in Singapore. They are known for their delicate texture that crumbles and dissolves quickly in the mouth, releasing a fragrant coconut aroma. The cookies are typically white or off-white due to the ingredients used, such as tapioca starch and coconut cream.
