Tuak


Tuak is a coconut spirit adapted from the rice spirit made in Borneo. We tried a local brewer's version while in Cherating, Malaysia. The beverage is a popular drink among the Ibans of Sarawak during the Gawai festivals.

Tuak is a coconut spirit adapted from the rice spirit made in Borneo. We tried a local brewer's version while in Cherating, Malaysia. The beverage is a popular drink among the Ibans of Sarawak during the Gawai festivals. It has mild coconut-sour taste and is cloudy in appearance. Generally served on ice, it is a reasonably refreshing drink. We paid RM15 (AUD$5.50) a bottle and created our own cocktail version by mixing it with lychees, fresh limes and orange cordial.

Selamat Minun!
