For the past six years, Ninong Ry has been more than just a vlogger; he has been a source of joy and comfort for countless viewers. Recently, he took to Instagram to mark this special milestone, pouring out his heart in a touching post directed at his beloved Inaanaks (godchildren).
“Who would have thought we’d make it this far?” he wrote, reflecting on how it all began. “I started this journey when our business closed down. I needed to find a different path, and look where we are now.” His gratitude is palpable, a warm embrace wrapping around his online family. “Thank you! I know you could continue your lives even without me, but you chose to watch and support. That means the world.”
Ninong Ry, whose real name is Ryan, emphasized how thankful he and his family are for the unwavering support from fans, as well as his dedicated team and their families. “From the depths of my heart, I truly appreciate it,” he said, his voice full of raw emotion. “It runs deep—right down to the bone.”
What began not as a dream career but simply a way to bring joy through cooking has transformed his life completely. “Because of this journey, my team and I have experienced things we never thought possible,” he shared, reflecting on the incredible opportunities that have come their way. “We’ve had the chance to work with amazing people, visit extraordinary places, and try foods that are far from ordinary. It’s all thanks to you—my life has become extraordinary.”
Ninong Ry is the embodiment of authenticity. He doesn’t claim to be the best, the funniest, or the most handsome. “But because of your support, we’ve come this far,” he said, encompassing the essence of humility that his followers adore.
His down-to-earth style and real-talk cooking videos have captivated nearly three million subscribers on YouTube. So much so, that even the renowned comedian Michael V. has impersonated him in a segment of “Bubble Gang.”
Among his many achievements, Ninong Ry is also part of the SB19’s music video, marking a high point in his blossoming career.
As he reflects on this incredible journey, it’s clear that Ninong Ry’s story is not just about cooking; it’s about building a community, fostering connections, and spreading happiness. Here’s to many more years of joy, laughter, and culinary delights!
