Can't help much! I know the Indonesians reformed their spelling to take it away from anything Dutch-influenced and then I was under the impression that Malaysia decided to reform its spelling to match the Indonesian version of the language (22 million Malaysians, 220 million Indonesians).
I don't really know enough about any of this though.
mrs myan always says pedas and told me to spell it that way.

I've got some malay or nonya recipes, but no indonesian cookbook about... they're all buried in a basement hundreds of miles away...
let me know if it would be of interest to you.
My Singapore Food cookbook says that Opor Ayam is "mild chicken curry". and a malaysian recipe... but I don't know a thing about the subject.
