LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 October 2024 - In a dazzling celebration of culinary and cinematic artistry, KOKU Japanese Restaurant hosted an exclusive curated dinner event last week, bringing together the stars of the much-anticipated film "Duyung Legenda Aurora" – sequel to the hit film “Duyung” from 2008, and a select group of guests. This unique event, held at Langkawi’s premier fine dining Japanese restaurant, was specially planned by KOKU’s owner, Dato’ Sri Shaheen Shah, to celebrate the start of filming.

"We are thrilled to host this exclusive dinner in honour of 'Duyung Legenda Aurora'," said Dato’ Sri Shaheen Shah. "This event is a celebration of creativity and passion, both in the kitchen and on the screen. It is a privilege to bring together such talented individuals and offer our guests a taste of what makes KOKU truly special. KOKU is in The RIYAZ Lavanya Langkawi, which serves as a filming location.

Every dish tonight was a work of art, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of this wonderful evening."
