Waku Ghin offers the brilliance of Chef Tetsuya Wakuda over a widened repertoire that spans contemporary bar experiences, private dining and its signature Chef’s Table. Opened in 2010 to rave reviews, Waku Ghin showcases the brilliance of Chef Tetsuya Wakuda in his only establishment outside of his world-famous Sydney restaurant. From the restaurant name, which reflects the use of silver in the ki

tchen, to the small wall niches that hold his works of art, the chef’s personal imprint is found throughout Waku Ghin. The award-winning restaurant’s dining concept is based upon a multi-faceted use of space, where diners can move from room to room, luxuriating over a bespoke experience of refined cuisine and exemplary service. Each private enclosure is helmed by a chef, bringing forward the season’s best to the Chef’s Table. Diners then move on to the main dining room or drawing room to relax over desserts, coffee and digestifs, while soaking in the sensational floor-to-ceiling view of the Singapore skyline. Waku Ghin’s European/Japanese menu boasts new creations sourced from the freshest ingredients from the region and beyond. Signature items include Marinated Botan Shrimp with Sea Urchin and Caviar, and Australian Wagyu with Wasabi and Citrus Soy. A 10-course degustation menu is available for dinner in this gastronomic gem of a restaurant with only 25 seats, promising a truly private and exclusive experience. In May 2012, Waku Ghin made its debut on the coveted S. Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, landing in 39th place. This was hailed as a “rare feat” by the organizers of the prestigious guide, a nod towards its debut on the list in just under two years.

In summer, the shallow coastal waters of Japan teem with tachiuo or beltfish who migrate here to feed. Their nutrient-rich flesh is tender and sweet, all too easy to enjoy straight from the grill. This is exactly how it’s served at Waku Ghin, with the spirit of the Japanese summer and a knowing confidence that this delicacy needs little more than a chef’s well-honed instincts.

The art of honegiri at Waku Ghin, an intricate technique that calls for hundreds of micro incisions that sever the countless intramuscular bones in hamo (pike conger eels), without cutting into its delicate skin. When completed, the once inedible bones transform into undetectable, delectable pieces.

A Mediterranean spin on ayu, the Japanese sweetfish that swim into happy bellies every summer. Now in the height of their season, ayu at Waku Ghin are confited in olive oil till their watermelon-scented flesh is lush and yielding, then served with bright salad of olives, tomatoes and cucumbers. A taste of summer to remember.

Sound on for honegiri ASMR magic. Honegiri is the intricate knife skill of making countless micro incisions to sever the pike conger eel’s tiny bones without cutting into its delicate skin. Once done, you’d never know those once-inedible bones are there at all.

This is one of those dishes where every ingredient fights for star billing. Naturally, all eyes are on the succulent T-bone steak, but one forkful of the Tasmanian pomme puree, and you’d argue that the potatoes, with their buttery texture and intense flavour, are really the highlight. Then you taste that dollop of creme cru on the side and you instantly see what Chef Tetsuya Wakuda means when says he could eat it all on its own. A dream plate to savour at Waku Ghin.

Sweetness permeates these early-season delicacies. Hamo deftly poached and served with Japanese onions, so fresh from the ground that they are only sweet, not yet sharp. Every bite calibrated for cooling the palate.

The summery Japanese whitings’ clean flavour and silky flesh lend them well to deep-frying. At Waku Ghin, they are golden and crisp, set on a lush bed of avocado puree and rained upon with a heady shower of Australian black summer truffles.
