As A’TINs, the loyal fans of P-Pop group SB19, count down the days until October 26, when SB19 brings the high-energy spectacle of their “Fast Zone” concert to the iconic Big Dome, the excitement is almost palpable.
But for those looking to fuel up before the dance floor ignites, a more intimate journey awaits: a culinary trek through the complex to taste the comfort food favorites of the P-Pop kings themselves.
From smoky grills to traditional Filipino classics, here is where fans can find a delicious connection to Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin.
Nono’s
Ground Floor, Gateway Mall 2
A good meal starts with the basics, and for Ken, that means chicken. The main dancer, whose fanbase is affectionately called the “Sisiws,” has a well-known affection for the simple, perfect poultry dish. Fans can head to Nono’s for the quintessential Homestyle Fried Chicken, known for its crispy and beautifully golden chicken and tender, juicy meat that is seasoned perfectly. It can also be served with waffles or drenched in flavorful sauces for a soulful plate that satisfies cravings for familiar, satisfying flavors.

Myeong Ryun Jinsa Galbi
Upper Ground Floor B, Gateway Mall 2
Those craving for smoky, charred perfection—the kind adored by Josh and his “BBQ” fans—are best satisfied with a heaping plate of grilled goodness. Head to Myeong Ryun Jinsa Galbi for an authentic Korean barbecue experience. The signature marinated pork galbi, thinly sliced and grilled tableside, is a sensory feast; the sweet and savory marinade caramelizes into a sticky, dark crust that locks in the intensely rich, tender flavor, giving a sophisticated nod to the street-food barbecue Josh loves.

Kenny Rogers Roasters
Upper Ground B, Gateway Mall 2
Meanwhile, for the leader Pablo, who has confessed fondness for the humble hotdog, a satisfying, grilled alternative awaits. Head to Kenny Rogers Roasters on the Upper Ground B level of Gateway Mall 2. They serve a hearty Grilled Sausage Meal that features a plump, perfectly grilled, flavorful sausage with a distinct char and smoky flavor that echoes the best parts of a street-food hotdog. Served with their signature sides, like the creamy macaroni and corn muffin, it’s a filling and high-quality take on the classic savory craving.

For Stell, the charming vocalist whose fan base is affectionately known as “Berries,” there is no missing his signature fruit. A delightful, palate-cleansing dessert awaits at Caramia Cakes & Gelato in Gateway Mall 2, where fans can indulge in a scoop of their bright and creamy Strawberry Gelato. This smooth, chilled treat captures the essence of fresh strawberries in every bite—a cool, sweet indulgence that’s the perfect way to pause and enjoy the moment before the concert chaos begins.

Burgoo
Upper Ground Floor B, Gateway Mall 2
Justin, whose fan base is affectionately called “Maisan,” requires a comforting dish that spotlights his favorite grain. A perfect meal awaits at Burgoo, where the creamy, delightful Corn-on-the-Cob makes for the ideal side dish for the meat plates. The sweet kernels are perfectly steamed, brushed with butter, and lightly salted, delivering that simple, wholesome flavor that is familiar and deeply comforting, which perfectly pairs with different steaks, shrimps, or both.
