I'm glad you had such a delicious rice/arroz dish.
But calling this orgasmic wok cooked experience 'paella' is as ridiculous as calling chicken served on a ceramic plate "chicken in a basket".
Seriously, why are all these wonderful 'arrozes' being called paella???
It's like seeing a sashimi thread with loads of comments about the fabulous carpaccio and ceviche or sushi and donburi people have had (but where everyone is convinced they are eating authentic sashimi).
