Supporting Local: Discover the Homegrown Products at Borenos Fried Chicken

At Borenos Fried Chicken, every meal reflects the community we serve. Since 2015, we’ve been committed to offering great food while supporting local products in Sabah. By partnering with Sabah’s farms and homegrown businesses, we ensure that our food is fresh, sustainable, and showcases the rich flavours of our region.

In this post, we’re highlighting three standout local products available at Borenos: Sabah Tea, Uinah Beverages, and Ginger & Wild Honey Tea. These beverages reflect our commitment to supporting local businesses and providing the best of Sabah’s natural resources.

Why Supporting Local Products Matters at Borenos

Choosing local products is a vital part of who we are. We focus on locally sourced ingredients not only for their superior quality but also for the positive impact it has on our environment and economy. Here’s why local sourcing matters to us:

  • Sustainability: By reducing the distance products travel, we lower our carbon footprint and promote eco-friendly practices.
  • Freshness: Locally grown ingredients arrive faster, ensuring better flavour and quality.
  • Support for the local economy: Every purchase at Borenos helps keep money within Sabah’s local economy, supporting farmers, artisans, and small businesses.
  • Celebrating Sabah’s culture: We’re proud to offer products that represent the best of Sabah’s natural products, from our highland teas to wild honey from the rainforest.

Let’s explore the homegrown products we feature at Borenos, and why these locally sourced beverages are a perfect fit for our menu.

1. Sabah Tea: Pure, Pristine, and Grown in the Highlands

There’s nothing quite like the refreshing taste of Sabah Tea. Grown in the Sabah Tea Gardens, nestled at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu, the cool climate and natural environment make this tea 100% pesticide-free. This organic tea is one of the finest examples of local products from Sabah, reflecting the pristine beauty of our region.

Why You’ll Love Sabah Tea

  • Pesticide-free: Grown without harmful chemicals, ensuring a natural, clean flavour.
  • Rich and smooth: Harvested in the cool highlands of Ranau, which enhances the tea’s unique taste.
  • Support for local farmers: Every purchase helps support the local tea industry in Sabah, keeping traditional farming methods alive.

When you sip on Sabah Tea at Borenos, you’re not just enjoying a refreshing drink – you’re directly supporting local tea producers who prioritise sustainable and natural farming.

2. Uinah Beverages: Bold Flavours with Bornean Roots

Another fantastic local product we serve is Uinah Beverages. This homegrown brand was born out of a love for Sabah’s local ingredients, particularly its spicy ginger. Founded by childhood friends James Wong and Matthias Liew, Uinah Beverages has quickly become one of Sabah’s top local brands, known for its bold flavours and commitment to sustainably sourced ingredients.

Why Uinah Beverages Are Special

  • All-natural ingredients: Made with 100% real ginger and roselle herbs from Sabah’s highlands.
  • Eco-friendly production: Uinah is committed to using sustainable farming practices and avoiding artificial additives.
  • Bornean pride: A true representation of the bold, natural flavours of Sabah.

At Borenos, we proudly offer Uinah Ginger Land as part of our beverage selection, the perfect refreshment to accompany your meal, giving you a taste of Sabah’s finest products.

3. Ginger & Wild Honey Tea: A Healing Brew from Sabah’s Forests

For those seeking a warm, soothing drink, our Ginger & Wild Honey Tea is a customer favourite. This drink combines the anti-inflammatory benefits of ginger with the natural sweetness of wild honey, both of which are harvested from Sabah’s local farms and rainforests. It’s more than just a beverage – it’s a healthy, homegrown product that nourishes both the body and soul.

Why Ginger & Wild Honey Tea is Special

  • Health benefits: Combines the immune-boosting properties of wild honey with the soothing effects of ginger.
  • Locally sourced: Both the ginger and honey are harvested from Sabah’s farms and forests, supporting local producers.
  • Sustainable harvesting: Our wild honey is collected using eco-friendly methods that protect bee populations and preserve the rainforest.

Enjoying a cup of Ginger & Wild Honey Tea at Borenos not only offers a delicious, healthy option, but also supports Sabah’s local beekeepers and farmers who work hard to provide these high-quality ingredients.
