Lihing is a type of Malaysian
rice wine that originated from the state of
Sabah. It was made from "pulut", a
glutinous rice and is a traditional rice wine for the
Kadazan-Dusun people.[3] The rice wine is also referred as hiing (in certain
Dusun dialects), kinarung, kinomol, kinopi, linahas, sagantang as well tapai.[1] They are different from one another, but all are made from rice-based drinks. Lihing is sold widely in Sabah including in some major hotels.
The wine is also usually used in the making of Tuaran mee,[4] and has recently been used to make ice cream,[5] and served during the
Kaamatan festival.[6]
