Dear all,

I have just arrived in Kota Kinabalu and I had heard about the local home made wines but somehow I did not get to take down the names. Can anyone help me on this? If possible, please list out the receipes too so I can try to make some for myself.

Thank you so much in advance.

cheers.

Hi,

I searched through a few forums and I found there is another name for the home brewed drink. It's called Tuak.

So what's the difference between Tuak and Tapai?

Thank you.

If not mistaken, Tuak is from Sarawak. Both r rice wine. But, i not really sure the difference between Tuak and Tapai. Never try Tuak yet. Rolling Eyes

Thanks for the response, but I know all that. I was just wondering if there is a difference when buying the property.

Hi mAtrIx24,

I dunno if you still need to know this, but I found this site explaining about tuak.

Turns out that tuak is a quite mild drink made from palm tree sap, which is fermented over a day or two and then drunk.

I can't give you an exact recipe, but I guess it's just the palm sap with some yeast chucked in. If you want to have a look at the wine fermentation process in more detail, check out my blog, how to make homemade wine.

Hope I've been a help!

This is my knowledge about the alcohol drinks of Sabah.

Tapai:
Fermented rice to produce rice wine.
Period of fermentation: About 1 week

Lihing:
Fermented glutanous rice (beras pulut) to produce more 'kick' of rice wine.
Period of fermentation: 4 weeks or more. The longer the better.

Tuak:
it was a coconut 'horn' sap and fermented with some tree element called 'rosok' in kadazandusun.
Also called 'bahar' in kadazandusun.

Additional info:
Tuak in Iban tribe means Lihing in kadazandusun.
Lihing in Iban tribe called 'Langkau'.

Both kadazandusun and iban called the rice wine as 'tapai'.

Hope this info will give some help.
