A new food reality series has officially landed and it is already adding something fresh to the streaming conversation. Viu’s latest original, Bite Me Sweet, is now streaming across its markets, introducing a dessert focused competition that blends culture, creativity and high pressure challenges.
A Dessert Competition With a Twist
Hosted by Yoon Shi-yoon, the series pairs five Southeast Asian pastry chefs with five Korean celebrities, creating unexpected teams that compete in a fast paced dessert survival format. The celebrity lineup includes Lee Sae-on, Sung Seung-ha, Cha Joo-wan, Bae Min-ki and Lim Sung-kyu, stepping into a space that mixes entertainment with culinary skill.
Where Culture Meets Dessert
The show stands out for how it blends different cultural influences. Chefs from Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand and the Philippines bring distinct flavours and techniques, while Korean snack culture shapes the challenges and overall aesthetic. The result is a series that moves beyond cooking into lifestyle storytelling, touching on food, fashion and visual culture.
More Than Just a Cooking Show
Bite Me Sweet is not just about competition. It explores food as a form of expression, using desserts to tell stories about identity, creativity and connection. The stakes also extend beyond the show. The winning team will launch a Bite Me Sweet pop up store in Singapore, turning the experience into something audiences can engage with in real life.
Expanding Viu’s Original Slate
Produced by Studio CR, the 10 episode series is part of Viu’s growing focus on original lifestyle and reality content for global audiences. It also forms part of the platform’s collaboration with the Korea Creative Content Agency and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, aimed at creating premium content with both Korean and Southeast Asian influence.
What to Expect
With its mix of competition, culture and visual storytelling, Bite Me Sweet taps into a growing demand for content that feels global but still rooted in identity. For viewers looking for something beyond the usual reality format, this one brings a different kind of flavour.
