The stars readily shared their excitement about the film and the unique dining experience. Ana Jobling, who plays Aurora, expressed her delight: "KOKU's menu is a culinary journey that mirrors the enchanting story of our film. Every dish tonight was a work of art, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of this wonderful evening."

Saiful Apek, who stars as resort owner Jimmy, added, "Dining at KOKU is an experience like no other. The flavours, the presentation and the ambiance are all top-notch. It’s the perfect setting to celebrate the magic of 'Duyung Legenda Aurora'."

The curated dinner at KOKU not only showcased the restaurant's culinary prowess but also created a memorable platform for the stars and production team to connect with each other in a convivial social setting. The 110-minute film started shooting from 13 September 2024 and is scheduled to be completed a month later, on 13 October, with more than 70% of the scenes shot on the legendary island of Langkawi.
