Eastern food is better: Much of it is healthier, and even when it is not, it tastes better. I will take Indian cuisine any day over a friggin boiled potato.
Eastern poetry is better, especially Arabic and Persian poetry.
Eastern martial arts are better and more dignified as a way of fighting. The western bomb them all from far away style is quite cowardly.
Eastern clothes are more comfortable and natural feeling. Loose baggy trousers and shirt. Very nice. Whoever made up this habit of going to work with a noose around your neck even in 40C weather?
Eastern architecture is better. The Taj Mahal, the Dome of the Rock, and Al Hambra do not have comparables in the west.
Eastern religion and philosophy is better. Remember that Christianity, too, was Eastern, and a very humane perspective on life until western Romans turned it into the official propaganda for empire building and crusading.
I am not saying the East is better. Just that, these things are better.
