Filipino language and dialects has similarities with its neighbor, after all we came from Indo-Malayan roots. I tried nasi goreng in one of hawker in bali and boy it was very savory and spicy. I dont wana try again haha. (Because i cant tolerate too much chili in my food)
I know some of the Tagalog words similar to Malay language, such as alamat(address), aku(I), anak(child).
