Known for his high-pressure cooking challenges such as creating 20 dishes in one hour and for teaching multiple ways to cook a single ingredient, the vlogger-chef recently uploaded a vlog featuring eight Christmas dishes under the theme “Mahirap sa 500, pero 1,500 kaya.”

The video came amid online discussions questioning whether P500 is sufficient for a decent Noche Buena. In response to the growing demand from viewers, Ninong Ry accepted the challenge but clarified that the vlog was filmed on Nov. 12, before the issue gained widespread attention.
“Makikita niyo sa episode na ito na ’yung P1,500 na gagastusin natin ay makakapagbigay ka ng Noche Buena na may dignidad na puwedeng pagsaluhan ng buong pamilya,” he said in the vlog.
