JAKARTA – VISION+ officially presents its latest Original Series, My Chef in Crime, Indonesia’s first culinary crime thriller series. Combining the worlds of culinary arts and criminal investigation, the series offers a fresh viewing experience in which every cooking technique, ingredient, and flavor can become a crucial clue in solving a murder case.
My Chef in Crime offers a fresh perspective on the crime thriller genre. For the first time, the kitchen is not merely a backdrop to the story, but an essential part of the investigation. Every cooking technique, dish, and piece of culinary knowledge serves as forensic evidence that guides the investigation toward the truth.
Directed by Sondang Pratama, the series consists of eight episodes, each approximately 35 minutes long, combining elements of murder mystery, investigation, family drama, and a slow-burn romance.
My Chef in Crime follows Rama, a talented chef who suddenly becomes the prime suspect in the death of his longtime rival. Determined to clear his name, Rama once again puts his culinary skills to use as part of his investigation. His unconventional approach to solving the case catches the attention of Vita, a detective who also happens to be his former lover.
Brought back together by the case, Rama and Vita work together to uncover clues hidden within ingredients, cooking techniques, and food preparation processes. Their investigation eventually leads them to a larger conspiracy involving illegal spice smuggling, human trafficking, and long-buried dark family secrets.
As the investigation deepens, My Chef in Crime becomes more than just a murder mystery. Each episode introduces a new layer of mystery, intertwined with family conflicts, emotional relationships between the characters, and unexpected plot twists. The tension of the investigation is balanced with the warmth of the characters’ relationships and touches of humor, creating an experience that is both intense and emotional.
The series stars Roy Sungkono as Rama, Sintya Marisca as Detective Vita, along with Sarah Felicia, Jeremie Tobing, Ajeng Fauziiah, and Sarah Sechan, bringing strong character dynamics to the journey of uncovering the mysteries behind each case.
Through its unprecedented combination of culinary arts and criminal investigation in the Indonesian series industry, My Chef in Crime offers a distinctive viewing experience. Every dish, seasoning, and cooking technique not only enhances the visual storytelling, but also becomes part of a puzzle that invites viewers to develop their own theories and uncover the culprit behind the series of murders.
