It is one of the five 2022 Malaysian and Singaporean Chinese New Year films, including Nasi Lemak 1.0 and Small Town Heroes (Malaysia), Ah Girls Go Army and Reunion Dinner (Singapore).[3][4][5]
The film tells the story of a young couple, Jack, a Chinese man and Sharifah, a Malay woman. Jack is a chef and manager of a restaurant owned by his father, who is a big chef. Sharifah is a TV programme producer for her father, Rahim, who is also a famous celebrity chef.
When they introduce themselves to their parents, both mothers approve them but both their fathers are shocked and opposed. Things became worse for both families when both chef dads challenge each other in all-out cooking competition that will go live on TV. Jack and Sharifah must find a solution before it gets out of hand. Can they mend and persuade their fathers to come in terms?[6]
The film is directed by Teddy Chin.[7] The title term Kongsi Raya refers to the years when the dates of Chinese New Year and Hari Raya Aidilfitri take place in the same period of time. This happens every 33 years due to Islamic calendar shifts. From 1996 to 1998, Chinese New Year and Hari Raya used to fall on the same week. This situation will repeat between 2029 and 2031. This term was coined and used in Malaysia and Singapore to commemorate the celebration of two festivals together.[8]
