 The Far East is a term used in English (with equivalents in various other languages of Europe and Asia, Chinese ?? yuan dong literally translating to "far east") mostly equivalent to East Asia (including the Russian Far East) and Southeast Asia,[1] sometimes to the inclusion of South Asia for economic and cultural reasons.[2] "Far East" came into use in European geopolitical discourse in the 19th century, denoting Eastern Asia as the "farthest" of the three "easts", beyond the Near East and the Middle East. For the same reason, ancient Chinese people called western countries "Tàixi (??)" - i.e. anything further west than India. The term Far East was popularized in the English language during the period of the British Empire as a blanket term for lands to the east of British India. Prior to World War I, the Near East referred to relatively nearby lands of the Ottoman Empire, Middle East to northwestern South Asia and Central Asia, and Far East for countries along the western Pacific Ocean and countries along the eastern Indian Ocean. Many European languages have analogous terms, such as the French Extrême-Orient, Spanish Extremo Oriente, Portuguese Extremo Oriente, German Ferner Osten, Italian Estremo Oriente, Polish Daleki Wschód, and Dutch Verre Oosten.

2. Filipino Food Recipes and Philippine Cuisines
October 27, 2009
The Filipino's love for food and tasty, exotic cuisines is reflected in the numerous Filipino food recipes made over the years. Certain Filipino cooking methods were adapted from different cooking styles of the Far East with a whiff of Malayo-Polynesian origins.
