Subak Hwachae, Made With Watermelon
Subak () is an ancient martial art that originated in Korea and uses bare hand techniques. The term was also used in Korea to refer to any fighting style that used bare hands. It is a different fighting style from Soo Bahk Do, which is a modern martial art with the same pronunciation but a different spelling. In Korea, each region had its own style of Subak; today, only two styles remain. One is taught purely as Subak, from the lineage of Song Chang Ryul (宋昌烈) (1932-2017). The other has been absorbed into modern Taekkyeon by Master Shin Han Seung. When Master Shin Han Seung tried to resurrect Taekkyeon after the Korean war, he sought instruction from the Taekkyeon master, Song Dok Ki, and the Subak master Il Dong. Shin Han Seung then combined Taekkyeon and Subak. Subak misconceptions A common misunderstanding is that Subak only involves slaps with the palm and features 45-degree side attacks to the cheeks, face, neck, or body; there are several reasons why: # Korea went ...

Tofu
Tofu (), also known as bean curd in English, is a food prepared by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into solid white blocks of varying softness; it can be ''silken'', ''soft'', ''firm'', ''extra firm'' or ''super firm''. Beyond these broad textural categories, there are many varieties of tofu. It has a subtle flavor, so it can be used in savory and sweet dishes. It is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish and its flavors, and due to its spongy texture, it absorbs flavors well. It is a traditional component of East Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, and has been consumed in China for over 2,000 years. In modern western cooking, it is most often treated as a meat substitute. Nutritionally, tofu is low in calories, while containing a relatively large amount of protein. It is high in iron, and can have a high calcium or magnesium content depending on the coagulants (e.g. calcium chloride, calcium sulphate, magnesium sulphate) used in ma ...

Punch (drink)
The term punch refers to a wide assortment of drinks, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic, generally containing fruits or fruit juice.

Korean Cuisine
Korean cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change.

Philippine Cuisine
Filipino cuisine ( fil, lutong Pilipino/pagkaing Pilipino) is composed of the cuisines of more than a hundred distinct ethnolinguistic groups found throughout the Philippine archipelago.
