MasterChef Singapore runner-up's viral shio pans are back for 9 months – 3 exciting new flavours
Yes, you heard me right! The popular buttery, salted rolls — brought to you exclusively by Genevieve Lee, runner-up of MasterChef Singapore — are available from now till the end of Dec 2025 or Jan 2026 (subject to change).
Shio & Sato at The Centrepoint is located at #01-33 F/G within Gastro+, next to Misato and opposite Ollie Kitchen + Bar. It opens from 12pm to 5pm (or till sold out), and only walk-ins are allowed (no pre-order). The best part? There is now a dine-in area for you to enjoy them on the spot!
Each individual piece is hand-stretched, rolled and baked fresh daily.
Are there any new flavours to look forward to? Yes, there are 3 in total — 1 savoury and 2 sweet. Let me dive into each of them right away.
Are you a garlic bread lover? Then try the all-new Garlic Herb Cheese (S$5.50).
At first bite, the sesame‑dusted Garlic Herb Cheese Shio Pan tasted alright. With each subsequent mouthful, however, the flavour grew on me as the aromatic butter and garlic notes became increasingly robust.
The Chocolate (S$4.80), with its rich-brown crust and sweet chocolate filling, is elevated by just a tinge of salt that makes all the difference.
Gen recommended the Butter (S$6.50) which, honestly, left me a little underwhelmed for someone who isn't crazy about red bean. But after trying it, I might just be a convert — if only for a few moments.
You know that creamy, cold stick of butter you love in your kaya toast? Now picture it blended with rich. nutty Azuki beans, and tucked into the salty, chewy crust of a shio pan — it was pure perfection, at least in my eyes.
The usual signature favourites will also be available, including the Sea Salt (S$3.60), Kombu Shio Pan (S$4.80), Hokkaido Milk (S$5.80) and my personal favourite — the Green Chilli Onion Shio Pan (S$5.50).
You can also get beverages to go with your shio pans like Tonic (S$8.50), iced Double Shot (S$8.90), iced Chocolate (S$6), just to name a few.
Whether you're an existing fan or have never tried Shio & Sato, now's your chance to at The Centrepoint!

Jazzercise is making a comeback with Gen Z and Millennials
Jazzercise: It is your mother's workout. At least that was the case for Madison Farfan, 25. Growing up in the San Diego area, where Jazzercise is headquartered, Farfan's mom occasionally Jazzercised while Farfan pursued competitive dance. To Farfan's mind, the two were out of sync. So when a coworker — who happened to be a Jazzercise instructor — pushed Farfan to join a class, she scoffed. Advertisement 'I had that preconceived notion: Jazzercise is not for people my age,' she told The Post. Rather, the stereotype goes, it's for grannies with unitards and leg warmers, hip replacements and Motown records. 11 If you haven't thought about Jazzercise since the '80s or '90s, it might look quite a bit different than you'd expect. Jazzercise, Inc. 11 The dancing workout tends to bring to mind leotards, leg warmers and big hair — but things have changed. master1305 – But after enduring a few months of the colleagues' insistence, Farfan, an HR professional for a construction company in San Marcos, caved. Her first class was led by Skyla Nelson — the impossibly shredded, infectiously peppy, Gen-Z granddaughter of Jazzercise founder Judi Sheppard Missett. Advertisement Wearing a monochrome set and slick bun, Nelson, 22, blasted the likes of Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter, leading the mixed-gen class through Jazzercise's proprietary heart-pumping choreography. 'Double lunge, right left! Right leg, ball change! Double jump, left side!' Nelson hollered between 'woos!' and swigs from her Jazzercise-branded Stanley. Farfan was 'blown away,' she said. 'Everything that I had in my mind about what type of workout it was, who takes the workout, who teaches the workout, the music that's used — totally out the window.' Advertisement Now, about a year and a half later, she said, 'I'm addicted. That's just the simplest way to put it.' 11 Women of all ages join workouts, like this one in Astoria — and there are plenty of millennials and Gen Z. Kim Max Aging gracefully Sheppard Missett, now 81 and a dancing advertisement for Jazzercise doing the body good, launched the company in 1969 after discovering why her adult dance students weren't coming back: The women — mostly moms in their 20s like her — weren't aspiring to be professional dancers like Sheppard Missett; they just wanted to look like one. 'That was kind of my aha moment,' Sheppard Missett said. She turned the ladies away from the mirror and exacting technique — and towards the good music and fun. 'And boy, it just went crazy.' Advertisement 'I've never once had to explain that Jazzercise is not what it was in the 80s to someone my age. We just know Jazzercise as our favorite fitness program — period.' Skyla Nelson Since then, Jazzercise has grown into a global phenomenon with 8,500 franchises across 25 countries that tap out fresh routines five times a year. There are classes that aim to build strength, and others that punch back at perimenopause. There's an on-demand platform for streaming at-home workouts, and new sleep programming and nutrition support add-ons. The company frequently revamps its line of apparel and posts its playlists to Spotify. 11 Jazzercise has 8,500 franchises across 25 countries. There are classes that aim to build strength, and others that punch back at perimenopause. They're even on TikTok. Jazzercise, Inc. 11 Madison Farfan, 25, (left) didn't think Jazzercise was for people her age — after all, her mom did it. Then she got hooked. Courtesy of Madison Farfan Jazzercise is even on TikTok. 'A lot of the time, I'll have older members or older instructors ask, 'How is it telling younger people that Jazzercise isn't leg warmers and leotards anymore?'' Nelson said. 'And my response is, 'I've never once had to explain that Jazzercise is not what it was in the '80s to someone my age. We just know Jazzercise as our favorite fitness program — period.'' Advertisement Not that Gen Z has step-kicked boomers to the curb. 'What's really amazing is that many of those early customers stayed with the program, even as new generations continued to join in,' said CEO and chief choreographer Shanna Missett Nelson, who's the founder's daughter and the instructor's mom. 11 'We've done a great job in being able to continue doing what we do, but improve it as we went along,' founder Sheppard Missett (not pictured) said. Kim Max 11 Sheppard Missett (not pictured), now 81, launched the company in 1969. Kim Max While Missett Nelson doesn't know the age breakdown of Jazzercisers nationwide, she said the ages of the flagship studio's instructors likely paint a representative picture: Nine, including her daughter, are in their 20s; 10 are in their 30s; 13 are in their 40s; seven are in their 50s; three are in their 60s. Advertisement One — her mom — is in her 80s. 'We've done a great job in being able to continue doing what we do, but improve it as we went along,' founder Sheppard Missett said. 11 'In the competitive dance world, you show up at a dance competition, you've got the dance instructors looking at you funky and it's … not very nurturing,' said Farfan (not pictured). 'Jazzercise is the complete opposite.' Jazzercise, Inc. No judgment, just fitness Michael Stack, an exercise physiologist in Michigan and president of the Physical Activity Alliance, has a few theories as to why Jazzercise's appeal is age-blind: It's social in a time when IRL connections — and especially intergenerational ones — are scarce. Advertisement It's judgment-free in an era where even a side part can earn you a side eye. And it's noncompetitive in a fitness culture where gym rats battle over the number of REM cycles in their sleep and supplements in their smoothies. 'Gen Z in particular may be less about those highly competitive metrics, and more about that sense of belonging and enjoyment and joy,' Stack said. 'Your metric of success at Jazzercise is: Did you breathe heavy? Did you sweat? And did you dance with your friends?' 11 Jazzercise founder Judi Sheppard Missett (right); her daughter, CEO and chief choreographer Shanna Missett Nelson (left); Shanna's daughter Skyla Nelson, who is an instructor. Paul Smith Photography 11 The women who join love the noncompetitive nature in today's intense fitness culture. Kim Max 11 Many also get a sense of community and are friends with their classmates. Kim Max Advertisement For Farfan, the answer is yes, yes and yes. It's a welcome change, she's found, from the high-pressure pipeline she pursued growing up. Maybe her mom was onto something after all. 'In the competitive dance world, you show up at a dance competition, you've got the dance instructors looking at you funky and it's … not very nurturing,' said Farfan, who attends live classes almost every day after work. 'Jazzercise is the complete opposite, so it's very refreshing.' Across the country at a recent Jazzercise class in Astoria, a millennial named Elizabeth Laberge shared a similar sentiment. She'd taken ballet for years as a kid but let the interest — and structured exercise as a whole — fade as life and motherhood took center stage. Then, about a year ago, Quinn McClure, the 38-year-old Astoria instructor and studio manager, invited her to class. The women's daughters were best friends, and Laberge obliged 'to be a friend' to McClure, too. She's been a regular ever since. 'What's the name of that song? I think it's by Pink,' Laberge asked the handful of other women — ages 35 to 60 — lingering after the Sunday morning class. Some had been to each others' baby showers, birthday parties and at least one bachelorette. Suddenly, unexpected tears welled in Laberge's eyes. 'I took so long of a break from dancing,' she said. 'I've been through a lot in my life, like a lot of trauma, and so coming here and just dancing, smiling, laughing is really …' Her classmate interjected. She remembered the name of the song: 'Never gonna not dance again.'

Walmart rolls out ‘FYP on Wheels' to woo Gen Z shoppers
Walmart is taking its brand on the road in a bid to win over younger shoppers, rolling out a fleet of themed mobile stores designed to merge retail with festival-style experiences. The 'Walmart Delivers' trucks, five in all, will tour the US from August through November, parking at concerts, marathons, and pop-culture events to offer photo ops, free merchandise and shopping tailored to specific youth interests. The project is aimed squarely at Gen Z, part of a broader push to give the world's largest retailer some of the cultural cachet enjoyed by rivals like Target. 4 Walmart will launch a mobile tour from August through November, aiming to attract younger shoppers. jetcityimage – Whether it works may depend on whether Walmart can sell itself as 'cool' without straining too hard for relevance. The company's own promotional language, calling the trucks 'Your FYP on wheels' — a nod to TikTok's 'For You Page' — makes it clear the chain is leaning into online slang, even if many older customers will be left scratching their heads. Walmart's tour kicked off Aug. 1 at KCON LA, a major K-Pop fan gathering. Over the next three months, the mobile stores will pop up at dozens of events, including concerts by country star Lainey Wilson, the Philadelphia Distance Run and marathons in Long Beach, Calif. 4 Walmart's 'Walmart Delivers' truck offers photo ops and free merchandise during a stop on its US tour. Instagram/Walmart Stops are planned for major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, New York and Tampa, with more dates expected to be added. The company says the goal is to meet younger shoppers where they already are — not just online but at the kinds of events where music, sports, and lifestyle trends intersect. 4 A Walmart-branded delivery truck is part of a five-vehicle fleet visiting concerts, marathons, and pop-culture events. Instagram/Walmart In a press release, Walmart described the trucks as 'head-turning delivery trucks, packed with experiences to level up what you love,' promising 'photo-worthy moments, customizable giveaways, & much more.' Each truck targets a distinct niche. The 'K-Pop Era' truck functions as a personalization studio, where fans can decorate their own photo cards, assemble binders and shop a curated selection of merchandise, with free items for visitors. 4 Walmart's new mobile store concept blends retail with festival-style experiences to court Gen Z customers. Instagram/Walmart 'Lo-fi Play' focuses on gaming, offering throwback video games, a live leaderboard and a hub for board games. 'Rodeo Dream' lets guests try rodeo-themed activities, pose with a personalized leather belt, and collect Western-style accessories. 'Nature Break' is geared toward outdoor enthusiasts, who can put together a customized park kit matched to their style of hiking or exploring. Finally, 'Group Woosah' — using slang for taking a deep breath and relaxing — offers fitness-minded visitors recovery sessions and refreshing drinks.
