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] The other are different 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] as well recently been used to make ice cream,[5] and served during the Kaamatan festival.[6]
