Kue bangkit is a small biscuit (kue or kuih) in Malay cuisine made from sago starch,^[2] commonly found amongst the Malay communities in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.^[1] This biscuit has various colours, ranging from white, yellowish to brown, depending on the additional ingredients.

Eating this cake will give the sensation of melting in the mouth. However, the texture remains crispy when chewed. Kue bangkit has a sweet and savory flavour.
