Wingko, wiwingka or bibika, which is sometimes called wingko babat, wiwingka or bibika (rev. De voeding in Nederlands-Indië 1904), is a traditional Indonesian pancake-like snack made from coconuts. This kue is usually associated with Javanese cuisine.
Wingko is a type of cake made mainly of coconut and other ingredients. Wingko is especially popular along the north coast of Java. It is mostly sold by peddlers on trains, at bus and train stations, or in the producers' own shops.
Wingko is typically a round, almost hard coconut cake that is typically served in warm, small pieces. Wingko is sold either in the form of a large, plate-sized cake or small, paper-wrapped cakes.
The best-known wingko is made in Babat. As its full name, wingko babat, suggests, wingko actually originated in Babat, a small district in Lamongan regency in East Java, near the border with the regency of Bojonegoro. In Babat, which is only a small town, wingko plays a significant role in the local economy. There are many wingko factories in that city, employing many workers. The factories receive coconut fruit from the neighbouring municipalities.
Today, various brands and sizes of wingko are for sale. Most wingko factories are still owned by Indonesian Chinese, and some still use Chinese-language names for their brands.
