....maybe not martial foods but how about foods from the countrys that also export your favorite martial art.
I love to cook - rarely have I received any complaints, but I am faaar from perfect as I try to cook what I like to eat (usually in other's kitchens). I'm a huge fan of Thai, Korean, Phillipino and Chinese food. Japanese food too, but I'm a bit limited with Japanese food (and Japanese martial arts too).
I haven't had good Korean food in a while but I love Korean grilled meets and condiments. There's just something satsifying about having Asian barbecue and side dishes that are there equivalent to french fries, salad and pickles - like these pickled cucumbers and bamboo chutes, kimchi and these marinated/grilled potatos. Add to it, some Korean restaraunts allow you to eat right in front of the grill in which the food is cooked - now that makes for a really nice experience!
Thai food is like nothing else - its such a unique blend of tropical, Indian and Chinese type cooking - sweet, spicy and tangy. After a nice Thai dinner, I've always had this satsifying feeling that goes beyond my stomach - I can't explain, but its like the food is also medicating in a way.
Phillipino food is kind of a relatively new venture. I'm still getting accquainted with it, beyond the typical pancit, adobo, loempia and cinnigang? (soup)...
And Chinese. Yum!! All the flavors and styles under the sun you can think of. Noodles, cold soups and peking duck in the north, spicy hunan and sichuan style cooking further south to special appetisers, like drunken chicken and the strange but tasty stinky fried tofu with sriracha dipping sauce....drool.
Ok, so what are your favorite foods from the far east? Or anywhere for that matter?
