Papito’s paella takes me back to the annual international fair of Lund where a queue would form for about 20 servings on a huge pan. The hawker would be mixing up the ingredients with the round rice, and the flavours of capsicum and herbs would waft slowly, filling the air with drool and anticipation.
.
Having earned the second place in the international paella competition in 2015, Papito’s serves up a mean and simple Spanish fare. The round and short paella rice soaks up the flavours of seafood stock, giving a burst of savoury and sour with the slice of lemon as garnish.
.
With generous chicken chunks, chorizo sausages, zucchini, capsicum, this takes the cut for simple Spanish fare, without a ticket to Europe. At $13.50, this dish is best enjoyed warm or when they are working up a new pan, the later serves can get a tad cold with the indoor air conditioning.
