Arroz ala Filipiniana

This recipe, Arroz ala Filipiniana is very similar to Paella, Arroz ala Valenciana and bringhe because they all use glutinous rice or malagkit rice and flaked chicken meat, pork and vegetables. The only difference is they vary in some ingredients like shrimps and other seafoods. So if you want to try cooking something diferent like this  local version of paella, then I think you should give it a try.
