Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo, who has won two gold medals at the Paris Olympics, has been offered a lifetime supply of free traditional dishes such as ramen, cheese, grilled chicken and unlimited buffets at restaurants.

Hagemu Sushi and Ramen Bar, a Japanese restaurant in Calasiao in the Philippines, offered Yulo and his girlfriend Chloe Anjeleigha lifetime supply of ramen.

"Your dedication and hard work inspire us all, and we are grateful for your contributions to our nation's success," the restaurant wrote in a Facebook post.

"To celebrate your outstanding achievement, we are thrilled to extend a special gift: free lifetime ramen not just for you, but also for your wonderful and supportive girlfriend," it added.

Yulo has also been promised a lifetime free buffet by Vikings Luxury Buffet, one of the most sought-after and expensive dining spots in the Philippines, Business Insider reported.

Other restaurant chains in the Philippines also promised to give him free supply of mac and cheese and grilled chicken for life, Philstar reported.

Yulo became the first Filipino man to win an Olympic gold medal after competing in the artistic gymnastic floor exercise on Saturday, and won another gold in the individual vault final a day later.

He is set to receive numerous awards from the Philippine government, including a monetary reward of 10 million pesos (US$173,000) and a two-bedroom condo unit valued at 24 million pesos in Manila's McKinley Hill urban development, as reported by the South China Morning Post.
