I want to document not so much the mouth watering classic paella, but rather the purpose built paella pan for 15-persons, which our best pals the Angeles family used to host a dinner for us. They also have a 30-person pan which is difficult to even envision, let alone to cook in. It is an art form, just like Risotto in Italy, Ramen in Japan and Fried Rice in China. From our many visits to Manila over many moons we had the good fortune to learn the appreciation of finer quality Spanish fare. Dora, my fearless other-half (is she really better) would go as far as saying that 'some are better than what we had in Madrid', a statement I would never dare make. That said, the top 3 restaurants we kept going back to are ... Mario's, Casa Amas and of course, Terry's which to date offers the most modern interpretation of traditional Spanish cooking at its best, in Manila, including tapas.
