Eastern Food Vs. Western Food

What's the Difference?

written by Kieran Lampert

When asked if they have ever eaten Chinese food before, most Americans will tell you that they have. Maybe one of their favorite places to eat in their hometown is "The Golden Wok," or "China Gate," or some other equally generic Chinese fast food joint. Truth be told, this is not Chinese food. It's not American either, for that matter, but somewhere in between. In actuality, authentic Chinese food is much different from what most Westerners would imagine.

Most Chinese dishes use a generous amount of oil. On first experiencing an authentic Chinese dish, most Westerners will not be able to finish the entire meal due to the sheer weight of it. Most Americans are used to pasta, salad, or dried foods like bread and cereal, such as is popular in European countries like France and Italy. Oil is used sparingly due to constant health reminders from Western dietitions. As a result, the dishes tend to be much lighter on the stomach. In Taiwan, however, a meal without oil is like a BLT without bacon.

Also, in Taiwan, culture and philosophy are often mixed with food. Even within a meal there is a certain aspect of "yin" and "yang," a balance of forces. Foods are considered to have "hot" and "cold" properties, and foods of both types are often served together in balanced proportions to maintain your health. For example, a common dessert is a cake combining red bean, a "hot" food, with green bean, a "cold" food. By combining these two foods, the dish is considered to be well balanced.

Also, rice is extremely prominent in Chinese meals. Most Americans, however, will mix their food with their rice and eat the two together, but this is not the way Chinese traditionally eat their meal. The other foods are eatern first, using the rice as a sort of "drop cloth" if you will. The sauces from the food fall onto the rice, flavoring it, and after it has been flavored the rice is eaten.

It is hard to say exactly what "American" food is. Unlike Eastern foods, which have a distinct culture and identity, American foods are simply foods taken from other countries. Some have called America the "melting pot of the world" in regards to the fact that there are people from so many backgrounds living there, mixing cultures and "melting" together to create something new and indescribable. I suppose the same can be said about American food as well. Quite possibly the only thing America has added to the world of food is not really a food at all, but rather a way of serving it; fast food. As usual, Americans make the point that "if someone else does something, we can do it faster and make money off of it." It seems like nowadays there are few, if any, countries without a McDonalds, Burger King or KFC. Though it is not something I'm terribly proud of, I suppose it is the only "food" I can claim as purely American.

Which is better? Chinese food, with its culture, philosophy, clear identity, and generous use of oil? Or the wide variety of nameless, countryless, light-on-the-stomach "American" food?

YOU decide. There's a world of food out there. Bon Appetite!

The Differences Between Western And Asian Cuisine

European and American cuisines typically fall under the category of Western food, although, at times, Western cooking also includes meals of other countries in Oceania like Australia. And what do food lovers instantly think about when they hear Western food? Steaks, burgers, huge servings of fries, sausages, and ribs are just some.

There are usual characteristics that differentiate Western food from other cuisines. First is the quantity of the serving. Compared with the traditional Asian cuisine, serving size of Western cuisine is essentially bigger. What is considered “jumbo” or super size in Asian food is only a regular size in Western cuisine. That’s generally speaking, of course.

In Western cooking, meat is also used in huge proportions. If in Asian cooking, meat is only part and parcel of the meal, in Western cooking, meat is the main star. Think of steaks. Thick slabs of meat are the main star of the meal. There are other players on the plate, such as mashed potato and steamed vegetables, but the meat is the only reason why the plate is readied in the first place.

The use of rice also differentiates Western from Eastern cooking. In Western cuisine, rice is rarely served and is only treated a side dish, usually to an Eastern-inspired Western food. Rice is given a similar treatment like that of steamed greens, steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, fries and corn on the cob. In contrast, Asian meal is not complete without rice. It is a staple. Noodles can be a take the place of rice although both rice and noodles can be presented in a meal at the same time.

But just like Asian cooking, Western food also puts great emphasis on the use of condiments and seasonings. You can find catsup, mustard, gravy, and other sauces and condiments easily available in eateries specialising in Western dishes.

In Singapore, Western foods are now everywhere unlike before. Fast food restaurants serving Western food are now easy to come by. Western foods are also typically found in hawker centres, or al fresco complexes that house food stalls, so you can have access to a burger or fries should you crave for them.

The great thing about dining is that the confluence of cultural orientations has made it possible for Westerners to find Asian cooking satisfying and for Asians to find Western food a big treat. This inter-relation of tastes and preferences has given more dining establishments sufficient reason to present both kinds of meals. Thus, where west meets east, you can definitely find great food.

Eastern Western culture, is fundamentally different. Therefore, the performance arts are also different. About the subjective weight of Oriental Art, Western Art focus on objective. Oriental art of poetry, Western art is drama. Therefore, in painting, Chinese painting heavy charm and re-shape of Western painting. Comparison between any of the following five different points:

(A) Sheng of Chinese painting with lines, lines of Western painting is not significant. Most of the lines is not the original images, is the artist to represent the two images of the realm. For example, Chinese painting, the depiction of an egg-shaped line represents the people's faces, in fact, no such person around the face line, this line is the boundary of the face and background. And a L-shaped line represents the picturesque people nose, in fact, have no such lines on the nose, this line is the boundary of the nose and face. Another example landscapes, flowers, kind and no cable, and artists with a line Sheng. Special lines in the landscape called "texture strokes." Special characters in the line called "folds." Research efforts are difficult. Western painting to otherwise, only the matter sector, the sector is not described on the line. So much like the kind of Western painting and Chinese painting like kind, glance it as art. Cover Chinese paintings and calligraphy homologous with the writing, like painting, free sway, the disclosure of mind. 19th century, Westerners see Chinese paintings flying lines, very like Mu, they imitate them, that is, a "post-Impressionism." However, before the late Impressionist Western painting, lines are not significant.

(B) do not pay attention to perspective of Chinese painting, Western painting very focused perspective. Perspective, that is, the performance of three-dimensional objects in the plane. Western painting real objects sought resemblance, it is very particular about perspective. Look at the streets of Western painting, housing, furniture, utensils, etc., are correct form, as competing with the real thing. If the corridor of the circumstances described, competing in a few inches of the distance to the local Expressed Shu Zhang. If the scan positive (standing view of the Central Railway) railway, competing in a few inches of the number of local Expressed in the distance. Chinese painting to otherwise, does not like painting streets, houses, furniture, utensils and other three-dimensional phase very significant things, and happy to write clouds, mountains, trees, waterfalls and other graphic materials such as natural Yuanwang things. Housing artifacts occasionally described, nor pay attention to perspective, and any performance. For example, drawing a deep courtyard scene, the Qulang chamber, to make lines that fly the air like when one sees; Besides, we have not seen for a time, but it is flying, fly fly, the few times the see. Therefore, hand-rolled Chinese painting, landscape stretching Shu Zhang, as is seen in the train. Set pieces of Chinese painting, landscape many piles, as seen in the aircraft. Because the Chinese people, like painting with poetry, want to be there, painting there, can not be bound by the perspective. So perspective of Chinese painting will be wrong sometimes. But this mistake does not matter. We can not use the law to criticize Western painting Chinese painting.

(C) do not speak anatomy of Oriental Painting, Western Painting heavy anatomy. Anatomy, skeletal muscle is the body shape of the performance. Westerners for the figure, we must first study anatomy. This anatomical English Dubbed anatomy for art students, the art of anatomy. So different from those of its physiological anatomy physiological anatomy departments about the structure and function of the human body, art is more specifically about the performance of anatomical shape. Skeletal muscles but also must memorize the names of all the abnormal shape, is a hard science. But Western artists have to learn. Because the focus on realism of Western painting, with the real body must have the same description. However, the Chinese figure painter never need this knowledge. Chinese figure painting, the sole purpose of Expressed Attitude features the characters, but not about the size and the proportion of people ministries. Therefore, Chinese Painting in the man, looks odd old, the first body is not known. Woman Crescent lips, Xiaojian waist. If these people's clothes off, the shape of terrible. But not only tolerated, but it is the benefits of Chinese painting. The strong desire of Chinese painting impression, so the expansion characteristics of the characters, so that by the magnificent men and women by Qian Li, and fully demonstrate its character. So do not use the symbol of realistic law method. Not for the shape, and find quite similar.

(D) the background of Chinese painting is not heavy, heavy background of Western painting. Chinese painting is not heavy background, such as writing clubs, a suspension of air, surrounded by white paper. Written characters, a man hanging the air, coming in a cloud like the general. Therefore, Chinese painting drawing paper, leaving many empty room. A long paper describes a dish or the bottom of a stone to become a set piece. Western painting to otherwise, all things must have the background, such as Guo Wu, whose background as a table. Characters, the background for indoor or outdoor. Therefore, all Tiantu screen, leaving blank. Chinese painting and Western painting this difference, but also realistic and vivid as the difference for us. Western painting realistic weight, it will describe the background. Re Chinese painting vivid, it will remove the trivial and close-up of its themes, in order to clear a strong impression.

(E) subject to the natural-based Oriental painting, Western painting themes to the main characters. Before the Han dynasty Chinese painting, but also to figure as the main theme. However, the Tang Dynasty, landscape that is independent. Until today, the landscape often Zhengge Chinese painting. Western from the Greek times, has been the main theme characters. Medieval religious paintings, most of the people as his subject. For example, "Last Judgement", "victory of death", etc., numerous characters in a painting. Until the 19th century, the tenor has a separate landscape. Landscape after independence figure does not give way, nude in Western painting today is still the main theme.

The five, is a Chinese painting and Western painting and different point. It can be seen interesting lofty Chinese painting and western painting plain fun. Therefore, for art research, Western painting Chinese painting is less than profound. For people to appreciate Chinese painting is less than the ordinary Western painting.
