Waku Ghin
Taking a hint from its name that means “surging with silver”, you would best be prepared for the splurge in this fancy 25-seater restaurant. One thing is for sure – for a baffling $400 per pax for its 10-course menu, chef Tetsuya Wakuda will bring on a tour to culinary haven with his specialties like marinated shrimp with caviar and sea urchin, and citrus soy and wagyu with wasabi. The splurge is definitely worth it, since it is a 25-seater restaurant that is exclusively reserved for the elite few. The patrons are the high rolling society or high net worth individuals dining with groups of friends, relative and premier tourists.
