Well, some of Indonesian language are absorbed from Hokien. Like Tahu (Tofu), Kuli, teh, etc (it's hard to find them, sorry).

I think "lu" and "gua", pekgo, goceng, gocap, (Betawi ethnic words) are also from Chinese.

Specifically Hokkien. Not Mandarin. Hokkien and Mandarin are two different dialectic. Although they have the same writing.

It's including "Bakmi", Bakwan, cat, hoki, jamu, pisau, singkong, toko, and many more.
