@food_fan
I saw some relatively inexpensive ones at Gourdo’s in Gateway. The one that serves 6 costs around Php500 if I remember it right.

Hi! Thanks so much for this post! Do you know where we can find paelleras in different sizes that aren’t so expensive? the ones we’ve seen so far are being sold in la Tienda and they are so huge. Looking for something that serves maybe 4 and 2?

There is a dish called Bringhe among Tagalog people of paella ingredients with malagkit rice, simmered in coconut milk and coloured with dilao, which is popular at buffet dinners. It is delicious but you must not think of it as paella, as it will spoil your enjoyment of an excellent dish, particulrly as no saffron is used, but instead turmeric(dilaw) gives the yellow colour.Apparently in the southern tagalog areas, there is a dish called Valenciana which is made similarly to paella but uses achuete for colouring, and omits seafood in the ingredients. I have never tried it but can only imagine it is also very nice. The use of malagkit rice reminds me of the “ma chang” among the local Fukien, which is lotus wrapped parcels of malagkit rice with sausage, pork, chicken etc – also very nice. all very nice, but the naming is improtant as our expectations may lesd us to disappointment and rejection of what is really fine cuisine.

I love paella particularly paella negro. I first tried paella negro in Barcelona and Canary Islands. I also like arroz valenciana. I wish the Philippines will retain and maintain cooking arroz valenciana. I believe this is the sticky version of paella because everytime I attend special occassions in Laguna, they always serve arroz valenciana using malagkit rice

You’re right about how simple it is to make paella, and how you could actually experiment with different ingredients and still come up with an impressive, yummy dish. We took a Spanish family friend to the beach recently and she cooked up what she called Paella ala Cagbalete (named after the island) since she had to make do with what was available there. We just had chicken, squid and shrimp, and a lone crab that she actually caught on the beach. Instead of wine, she used beer. Amazingly, it was delicious!

Just thought I’d share that story to illustrate how creative you could be in preparing paella…;-) looking forward to more mouth-watering recipes from you! cheers!

When I lived in the SF Bay area, I use to get all my spanish provisions from “The Spanish Table” (www.spanishtable.com).

I also got my Garcima carbon steel paellara from them

Not so far-fetched in a blog such as this is the second prediction. I shall therefore take really good care of myself to ensure that I shall still be around in ten years time so as soon as I finish my two bags of calasparra rice I shall henceforth deviate from my habit of a lifetime and not over-eat too much rich food ha ha. And if I survive ten more years after that, I can look forward to experiencing the pure joy of holding a conversation with a non-judgmental and unprejudiced machine.

Ray Kurzweil has some encouraging predictions:

Within 5 years the exponential progress in nanoengineering will make Solar power cost-competitive with fossil fuels

Â· Within 10 years we will have a pill that allows us all to eat whatever we feel like and never gain any unwanted weight

Â· In 15 years, life expectancies will start rising faster than we age

Â· In about 20 years 100% of our energy will come from clean and renewable sources, and a computer will pass the Turing Test by carrying on a conversation that is indistinguishable from a humanâ€™s.
