The story follows Izka (Nazrief Nazri), a journalist at a television station, who accidentally meets Mia (Emma Maembong) on a bus while heading home for a holiday. Mia has just completed her degree in mass communication and is still searching for a suitable job. While on the bus, Izka and Mia discover they have the same seat number. Because both have high egos, a quarrel breaks out between them. Eventually, they are both forced to take different buses after being kicked out by the bus driver. Both have to take the evening bus instead. Mia blames Izka for not being able to send her parents to the airport to perform umrah. The drama between them continues when Mia begins her practical training at the same television station as Izka. This gives Izka an opportunity to get revenge on Mia. Izka is unlucky in love and has been heartbroken twice. Perhaps because of this, Izka is rather cold towards women and leaves matters of destiny to his mother Azizah.
Directed by Eoon Shuhaini, Nasi Minyak Kuah Cinta leans on a strong ensemble — Nazrief Nazri, Emma Maembong, Aishah Ilias — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2016.
