BENGpire is a magazine show produced by Mediacorp Channel 8 and hosted by Wang Weiliang and Desmond Ng. The show title is a portmanteau of the terms "Ah Beng" and "vampire". In Chinese, it is also known as 黑黑真好玩, which literally means "it's fun in the dark".

Every Tuesday night, the two BENGpires Wang Weiliang and Desmond Ng come out from a corner of town and take viewers to places at night which are both enjoyable and fun. Three F&B outlets and/or entertainment places are introduced in each episode based on a theme. The BENGpires and three others rate the overall experience for each of the places at the end - "Come if you can't sleep" (睡不着就来), "Come after sleep" (睡饱应该来) and the highest rating, "Come even without sleep" (不睡也要来). From the fourth night on, there is a new rating system for each of the places - each of the five raters give one bat if the place is fun, or continue to show the title logo if it is not (a total of five bats for the highest rating). The address and opening hours of these places are then shown.
