Dilraba Dilmurat to star in Stephen Chow's new movie?
5 Mar - Rumours are rife that Dilraba Dilmurat has been cast to star in the highly-anticipated Stephen Chow film, "Shaolin Women's Soccer".
Sources recently said that the Uyghur actress has travelled to Shenzhen for the filming of the movie, and will play the lead alongside other actors that include Zhang Yixing and Zhang Xiaofei.
However, another theory has emerged saying that Dilraba might only be making a guest appearance.
At present, neither Stephen Chow, the film company nor Dilraba herself have responded to the rumour, and the finalised list of cast remains to be seen.
It was back on his 61st birthday in 2023 that Stephen announced that he is developing an all-female version of his hit 2001 movie, "Shaolin Soccer".
The comedy auteur then began to hold major casting calls all over the world, attracting about 30,000 people to sign up, from actors, singers, athletes to even ordinary people.

Stephen Chow's "Women's Soccer" concluded filming
4 Jun – It was reported that Stephen Chow's "Women's Soccer" (previously reported as "Shaolin Women's Soccer") has officially wrapped production. The film, which has been in production for the past few months, has now concluded with Dilraba Dilmurat finishing her final scene on 2 June. Other leading cast members, including Zhang Xiaofei and Lay Zhang had already wrapped their parts earlier. Not much information has been revealed about the production, which has maintained strict confidentiality since it began in March, sparking widespread speculation about the casting order and lead roles. This include the confusion regarding who the lead actress is. Earlier, it was reported that Zhang Xiaofei ("YOLO") was selected to be the star of the film. However, fans began to speculate that it was Dilraba instead, due to the fact that she was filming until the last day of shoot. The movie, which marks the return of Stephen Chow as director, follows the inspiring journey of China's women's football team, the Emei Squad, as they compete in the AFC Champions League. The movie is the follow up to 2001's "Shaolin Soccer." (Photo Source: Daily View, Dilraba Weibo)

Dilraba Dilmurat is the actual "Shaolin Women's Soccer" lead?
29 May – Although it was previously rumoured that Dilraba Dilmurat will be playing a guest role or a supporting character in Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Women's Soccer", many are now speculating that the actress actually has a bigger role and might be the lead in the movie. It was previously reported that the lead actress for the movie, which has been filming in a hush-hush, was Zhang Xiaofei, who is most known for her many collaborations with comedienne Jia Ling. Many speculated that Zhang was the lead originally due to her jersey number in the movie, which bore the same No. 10 like Stephen had in his own film. On the other hand, Dilraba reportedly has a No. 8 jersey on. However, it was recently revealed that the "YOLO" actress has already completed all of her parts in the film even before the crew finished shooting. However, Dilraba, who has participated in the shoot since day one, is reported to will only conclude her role in June, sparking speculations that she is the actual star of the movie. Notably, the production of "Shaolin Women's Soccer" has been extremely low-key and secretive about the shoot. It is said that the film was shot in a large stadium in Shenzhen, Guangdong and a large number of tents, cranes and rest vehicles were set up in the venue.

China's no. 1 char siew rice & O.G. viral HK teddy bear iced tea arrive in SG
Have you ever wondered who invented the iconic teddy bear iced tea that's stolen the hearts of so many ever since its debut in 2019? It's Keming Bing Sat, an award-winning eatery with 140 outlets in Hong Kong and China, which will open its first Singapore outpost on 22 May at Plaza Singapura! 'Yesterday's Hong Kong, Today's Shenzhen' is how Keming Bing Sat describes its concept. Taking inspiration from traditional Hong Kong (tea restaurants) and combining them with creative new ideas to appeal to today's youth, it has been met with tremendous support from customers all over China and Hong Kong. The chain has racked up a commendable collection of achievements, including Dianping's Must-Eat List 2022 and TikTok's Favourite Restaurant 2021. The most memorable and contributing much to the brand's name is their award for the No. 1 Best Selling Rice in China from 2024 to 2025; they sold over 3.3 billion portions of the dish in a single year. Keming Bing Sat's famous signature Rice (S$10.90) didn't earn the title for nothing. It's the creation of a Hong Kong chef who has mastered the techniques of making the best roast meat over 40 years. The juicy and perfectly charred char siew is served on a bed of Wuchang rice and paired with 2 fried eggs and a secret sauce made of over 23 ingredients. The oh-so-aesthetic Ice Bear Drink Series is a must-get to pair with your Keming Bing Sat mains (and also for the cutest Instagram photos). These beverages, which include the Signature Iced Lemon Tea (S$4.90), come topped with an adorable ice bear. Options for soda lovers include the Pink Bear Soda (S$5.90) and Dreamy Blue Bear Soda (S$5.90), though I myself prefer the Little Bear Iced Hong Kong Milk Tea (S$4.90) as it's perfectly gao! If char siew isn't your fancy, Keming Bing Sat's Thai Style Curry Beef Brisket Rice (S$13.90) or noodle dishes like Stephen Chow's Favourite Noodles (S$10.90) might be. A classic Hong Kong comfort food, the instant noodles are topped with brisket, a chicken wing and luncheon meat, and radiate the warmth of home. Don't miss the Western-style dishes like the Thick-cut Sirloin Steak (S$19.90), either. Tomatoey pasta paired with salad and a tender grilled sirloin steak with old-school black pepper sauce— what's not to love? End your meal at Keming Bing Sat with its desserts, which are just as picture-worthy as the drinks and mains. The Happiness Lava Egg Waffles cost S$3.80 for 2 pieces or S$6.90 for 4. They're fluffy, egg-shaped waffles with tiny faces encasing melty cream cheese for a combination of sweet and savoury, The Lava Ovaltine Toast (S$7.90) is sweet, chocolatey and creamy – the restaurant's best dessert in my opinion! It consists of crispy French toast soaked in condensed milk and flowy cream for a rich, milky flavour and scattered with Oreo crumbs for a light cocoa crunch. Are you ready for an incredible Hong Kong culinary experience with good food and beautiful photo ops? Get ready to visit Keming Bing Sat when it opens to the public on 22 May!
