The next that has arrived in Singapore at Bugis Junction are these Taiwanese-Chinese burgers Bear Bites 熊の食 with buns shaped and looking like a teddy bear paws. And you know you want to grab your hands (and your mouth) on one of those.
First spotted it on Instagram with comments varying from “Sooooo cute”, to “Very cute” and “OMG cute”. I guess the vocabulary used to describe buns are limited. Let me go. They are “super cute”?
The Bear Bites was first made popular in Taiwan’s Fengjia Night Market which is like THE street food market of Taiwan. The Taiwanese creator was touring Japan, spotted some Japanese type buns (which resembled our very own ‘kong bak pau’) and decided to create his own style with Western-meets-Asian ingredients. As for the bear paw print, it is iconic of Taiwan’s national animal – the Formosan Black Bear.
