He became popular when a Facebook user named Dianne Adolfo has posted pictures of him selling the omurice around the metro. In the post, Adolfo narrated that she did not realize at first that Kuya Omurice was selling the rice omelet because of the little handwriting on the signage he was holding. She thought that the man needed help until he asked her if she wanted to try his food, saying that he is selling it for only 35 pesos. She immediately said yes to the offer with no hesitation and also asked if she could take a picture with him.

She even said that the food was good and one serving was not enough. She then posted her experience on the social media which suddenly went viral.

The post gathered many various reactions from the netizens because it was something that people would least expect from a foreign national. More importantly, the story has inspired hundreds and thousands of netizens considering that a young foreign man in our own country sells his own product just to earn money to sustain his living and his studies.

The word omurice is derived from the terms omelet and rice, which is a local Japanese food. Fried rice is being wrapped in French omelet and is best served with ketchup on top. The one that Kuya Omurice is selling is prepared and cooked by himself. He then announces his location on his Facebook posts. There was also a post where he said he believes that omurice can change the world.
