Internationally acclaimed chef Tetsuya Wakuda has launched his much-anticipated fine dining restaurant, Waku Ghin, in Singapore's Marina Bay Sands.
The new restaurant is Wakuda's only establishment outside of his world-famous Sydney restaurant.
From the restaurant name, which reflects the use of silver in the kitchen, to the small wall niches that hold his works of art, the chef’s personal imprint is found throughout the Singapore dining destination.
Waku Ghin’s dining concept is based upon a multi-faceted use of space, where diners can move from room to room to enjoy their dining experience.
The restaurant features an intimate lounge at the entrance for pre-dinner drinks. Four unique dining rooms offer private enclosures for small parties where chefs prepare food for each group personally. Diners then move on to the main dining room or drawing room to relax over desserts, coffee and digestifs, with a floor-to-ceiling view of the Singapore skyline.
“Tetsuya’s immense talent, attention to detail and perfectionist nature, combined with the restaurant’s spectacular setting at Marina Bay Sands, will make Waku Ghin a destination in itself for discerning diners from around the world. Together with our other celebrity chef restaurants, Waku Ghin will add lustre and depth to Singapore's evolving dining scene,” said Marina Bay Sands President and CEO, Thomas Arasi.
Waku Ghin presents a European based yet Japanese influenced menu.
“It has been both exciting and inspirational developing this new menu,” said Chef Tetsuya, “I have been able to source at ease from further afield than I would from Tetsuya’s Sydney. To be able to bring the energy and creativity of the kitchen direct to the diner at the table has always been my ambition.”
