Recipes from my kitchen, ingredients worth trying, and meals made for sharing.
Come into the kitchenHome
Come in. There’s always something to share.
Welcome to Bahay Ni Kuya G. I’m Gary—Kuya G to the people who know me—and this is where I bring together the things I enjoy: cooking, pickleball, travel, learning, and good company. Make yourself at home. You might leave with a recipe, a new idea, or a reason to join us on court.
A little bit of everything. A lot of heart.
Some days, I’m figuring out what to cook with what’s already in the kitchen. Other days, I’m holding a paddle, planning a trip, or working on a system that makes everyday tasks easier. And yes, there’s usually a song somewhere in between.
BNKG gives those interests a home. I want it to be useful, welcoming, and personal—a place where sharing what we know can help someone else try something new.

Food and sport have a way of bringing people together. A training session can turn strangers into teammates; a shared meal gives everyone a reason to stay a little longer. That’s the spirit I want to keep here.

Creamy Shrimp Chowder with Bamboo Shoots
Creamy shrimp-shell broth, plump shrimp, a little potato, and a gentle crunch of bamboo shoots. Shrimp ang bida in this comforting bowl.
Starting with the basics
Control before power. Good movement before speed. And plenty of room to make mistakes while learning.

A few chapters from my life
My online diary goes back to 2007. Selected memories now have a home here too: coming back to Tuy, travelling, supporting students, and bringing people together through sport and food.
