[@nadiahnajib567]

Unlike Indonesians, we Malaysians are very proud of sharing our culture and we are not fond or obsessed in claiming things (trust me, several indonesians harrased me in past youtube comment when i mentioned kangkong is very common staples in SEA, because they claimed Kangkong originates from Indonesia 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣). Im glad that Phillipnes, Thailand and other countries are more laid back and open minded. A good mindset opens for healthy sharing of Culture and foods, in so many ways by many kind of people.

Many cuisines are similar to our local Malaysian food likes beef rendang, all those coconut based dishes remind me of my own daily food that I prepare..washing hands before eating in that floor sitting (in Malay we called that 'bersila') was way back practised by my grandparents but not not much anymore now due to modern lifestyle of dining on the table and chairs..oooo how close we are..very similar

I’m fully aware as Filipinos being from the Malay race. But it becomes more evident in the cuisine. Makes me more proud not just to be Filipino, but proud of all of Southeast Asia! Even if it’s a mostly Christian country, the Muslim influence shines bright in the food we eat.

[@AsianSP]

Austronesian po hindi Malay we might received some influenced from them but our ancestors came from Taiwan, look how culturally and physically close Taiwan aborigines and Igorot tribes since sila yung hindi nasakop. Half of Malay/Indo came from mainland southeast asian which is Austroasiatic, the other half came from Philippines.

[@areliphe]

​@@AsianSP You both can be right. Please know also that Malaysia≠Malay thus not all Malaysians are Malay. Think of the demographics of nearby areas to be closely related thus we in East Malaysia actually have much more in common culturally with Brunei, Kalimantan and Southern PH than West Malaysia. We from the East Malaysia can trace a lot of similarities to Philippines and studies also theorises that some aboriginals of East Malaysia may trace our origin from Taiwan as well. There is of course the high probability of Malay diaspora during the height of the Major Sultanate Era strengthening the links of old Malaya-Indonesia-Brunei-Philippines 😁

[@jeksixten5751]

They adopted many Indian dishes and spices that's why their food is very different..

[@wewenang5167]

@@jeksixten5751 yes Malaysian adopted more Indian influence while Indonesian especially eastern part and Javanese part adopted more Indian cultural aspect and chinese food culture. Many famous food in Indonesia such as Mee ayam, Bakso and Lumpia are Chinese. While the Malays predominantly live in Sumatra, Malaysia and Borneo adopted more Indian food culture with middle eastern food culture also. Especially in North of Malaysia and North of Sumatra you will see a lot more Malay cuisine used a lot more Indian spices in their Gulai. Filipino is unique becasue they are too far from Indian influence and they also adopted many Chinese aspect so many of their cuisine are more similar to authentic early period Malay. Such as the White palapa, Malay used to have white palapa or we call it Serunding Kelapa also because we also didnt used red chilies until the Portuguese introduce red chilies to Malacca 600 years ago. Before the Portuguese came all our spicy food are made with green peppers adn black peppers. No chillies involve. The Maranao used of bawang dayak or sakurab is also how Malay used to cook theri food with that but after load of imported red inions from india came they switch from using sakurab to red onions.

[@markzzzzberg1312]

​@@wewenang5167North and North eastern Malaysia like the state of Kedah, Perlis, and Kelantan they also have a strong Thai and Cambodia influences in their food because of the land border

[@AsianSP]

Because Filipino are full Austronesian genetically with east asian ancestry while Indo/Malay are Half Austroasiatic and Austronesian and received more Indian influenced. If you study their languages, it's totally different from Philippine languages when it comes to grammar but majority of them speak Austronesian but their grammar are similar to mainland southeast asia. For example Javanese are Austroasiatic but they speak Austronesian.

Regimo was a hispanized reading of Abdur-Rahim. We may be not Malay /Melayu, but as Austronesians we belong to the larger Malay-world. Before Islam, we were also heavily Indianized via Hindu and Buddhist beliefs. Its something we dont talk about often, but underpins a lot of our cultural outlook and icons /clothing/food (most evident in Bangsamoro).

[@MalaysianTropikfusion]

But it sounds so different. I really don't see it...

[@derbdep]

Regimo = “Re heem oh”in Spanish pronunciation. Rahim= “reh-heem” in Arabic pronunciation.

[@migspedition]

Not all ethnicities in the archipelago were plugged into this larger Malay world. Key areas such as Manila, Sulu, Mindanao and Palawan sure and then the Malay cultural influence vries relative to distance from major port cities. Until we reach the mountain areas and their culture is more akin to Taiwan or the interior areas of Borneo.

[@ij465]

Maranao sounds similar to Melanau (one of native race in Malaysia). In classic Jawi (Malay-Arabic writing), there is a known case that letter [ro] had been mistakenly read as [lam] because of style of writing the letter (the common/ personal khat styles). In Silat we have Silat Sarong but some ancestor Maharlika or native Philipine utter it as Silat Malong despite the text in scripture is about fighting steps using cloth wore around lower body. Maybe colonisation able to make them illiterate once again or the scripture using water soluble ink which alter the letter shape ❤

18:23 Correct ko lang si kuya. Carp is not native to Lanao. Introduced sya, along with tilapia. Hindi alam ng marami pero Lanao Lake underwent what is truly an ecological disaster dahil sa introduction ng isda. Lanao used to be home to several species of completely endemic fish, like the manalak and baolan. Almost all, if not all of them, are now sadly extinct.

[@shahesfelazi8549]

Sayang it's the same in Indonesia, Lake Toba in Sumatra is filled with carp and talapia, and I am not sure if locals know local fish. Arowan or in Malay - haruan is a lake fish another is toman. Catfish is also famous in Malaysia, fish like patin and baung is cooked in coconut, chilli and fermented durian.

[@AngryKittens]

@@shahesfelazi8549 Arowan is Haloan or Haruan in Bisaya, Dalag in Tagalog. It's _probably_ native, or at least introduced before modern times. Walking catfish is Pantat in Bisaya, Hito in Tagalog. It's native. Sadly, we probably lost most of the native fish before they were documented by science. Not just in Lanao but in most other local freshwater streams and lakes, which are now uniformly full of introduced fish like tilapia, carp, gourami, guppies, mosquitofish, and even aquarium fish like swordtails and plecos. I only know a few remaining common local freshwater fish like pait (small barb species), puyo (climbing perch), and some gobies.

Gourami which we have several types in Malaysia, the Giant Gourami or called kaloi is native here and the Sabah Kaloi - a beautiful fish is native to Sabah.

[@AngryKittens]

@ Nope. No gouramis are native to the Philippines (or eastern Indonesia). AFAIK they're only native to mainland Southeast Asia and the western greater Sunda islands (Borneo, Sumatra, Java) which were once connected to the mainland, 12,000 or so years ago (except Sulawesi, which like the Philippines was never connected to the mainland). They don't even have native names in the Philippines. They're still just called "gurami" in local languages.

Some of the stores you showed in the video look exactly like the stores in Malaysia, like exactly the same products. The people and even some of the words are exactly them same. We basically are the same people separated by ocean and nation.

Interesting that they call the yellow rice kuning, which is an Indonesian word, from the Dutch koning, meaning king. Indonesia-Philippines link next?

[@acesrusselcloud5676]

We also called it kuning in Tausug.

[@nomad_ape]

Kuning means yellow in indonesian/malay, it actually describes the color of turmeric that used in the yellow rice. Actually Indonesia/Malaysia cuisines are almost similar. So many Malay cuisines in this video can be found in Indonesia too.

[@MalaysianTropikfusion]

Both Malay and Maranao kuning are descended from the Proto-Malayo-Polynesian language. Those are not loan words from Dutch. What a ridiculous thing to say.

[@matahari8673]

Word "Kuning" already exist before Dutch come😂😂

[@jegolan]

@@matahari8673 Thanks for this. I always thought nasi kuning meant royal rice.

Kagutom!

21:52 I believe Maranao’s word of Kanduli is similar meaning to our Malaysian word of Kenduri.

I think you should've gone to Zamboanga City or Sulu Archipelago to know more about Malaysian and Tausog Foods.
