Lihing - Sabah Rice Wine

Last night..we had a little and moderate aramaitee session...and we drank lihing or its commercial name called as Sabah Rice Wine..it's one of the traditional drink in the Land Below The Wind of Sabah...it tastes sweet as if you're drinking a coconut..well there's another traditional drink made of coconut....just for your info, there are plenty of grades of lihing and am sure you'd love to have a good grade...that's where Panther Trading comes..Mr. Jew's family actually own a company producing Lihing in Kinorotuan, Ranau. According to Mr. Jew, his family's lihing is made available only for resorts like Hotel Pertama in Kundasang any many more..they also accept any orders for the likes of engagement and wedding ceremony and others..I'm not really sure how much they cost but his family's lihing comes in 300 ml, 500ml and 600ml....in a sealed bottle as shown in the picture below...I was once lost my mind and totally forgotten what had happened at Mr. Jew's house after drinking their lihing....I think I drank less than 5 glasses that time (suda minum berapa crate beer sebelum tu ba)..I'm not an expert but I do know their lihing is one of the best I've tasted in Sabah..excluding my aunty's 3 year-old lihing (Tambunan) back in the late 90s...if any of you would like to know more about ordering or tasting...please find below is the company's address with a contact number..Mr. Jew told me that they offer a free delivery services within agreed mileage..Mr.Jew also told me that Datuk Joseph Pairin Kitingan himself has tasted Panther Trading's lihing and regarded as one of the best he had tasted..there's one in Tambunan Village Recreational Centre (TVRC) a factory producing lihing which I've tasted as well...these two have 1 thing in common..they produce good grade and kick as* lihing..

Bottle's cap is sealed
