One of my favorite dishes to make is paella. In a way it is challenging as it usually deals with the right portion of everything and timing. Being a filipino, I am more exposed to the arroz type (using glutenous rice). However, when i went to Hongkong during the mid nineties, i met cooks papa enrique and mama paquita who made their paella using the long grain rice only. Olga (their daughter) is also a good cook and a very good dancer. She danced in the restaurant where her parents worked as some sort of an entertainment after the guests had their tasty dinner. lots of dishes caught my fascination. One of them is the Paella. We went to their flat and they taught me two versions. One is the traditional way of cooking it - cooking rice in a flavored broth on an open paellera (flat pan) and the other is using cooked rice already WHICH I PREFER!!! Speedy speedy!
