Sorry to be so late. Was affline yesterday evening.
Indonesian Maly also has
gado / menggado "eat side-dishes without rice"
Then there still is:
nyamik / nyamikan "snack"
sesap / menyesap "sip (a.o. beverage or soup)"
sarap / menyarap "have breakfast"
That besides the common makan "eat" and minum "drink".
