FORKIN WORTH IT
Confidence: mediumForkin desk assessment of attributable public coverage — not a personal dining review.
Two independent dated first-hand assessments of the Marina Bay Sands outlet: CNA Luxury (22 November 2023) and Forbes (16 July 2025). The previously counted Condé Nast Traveler entry carries no discoverable publication date and cannot satisfy the dated requirement.
What public coverage says
CNA Luxury and Forbes both describe the Marina Bay Sands chef's-table experience first-hand, singling out the botan shrimp with sea urchin and caviar. The MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026 lists Waku Ghin with one star.

CNA Luxury · 22 November 2023Conde Nast Traveler · contextForbes (forbes.com) · 16 July 2025Caveat: Condé Nast Traveler entry excluded: no publication date is discoverable on the page, so its currency cannot be established. An ieatishootipost post covers the pre-2019 teppanyaki lunch format with a later undated "update"; treated as neither current nor clearly re-reviewed, and not counted. Forbes page is partly paywalled; the first-hand visit, exact outlet and byline date were all verified from the visible portion. Legacy-evidence remediation batch 1, 2026-08-11. Score recalculated 9.3 to 9.2 on two countable sources instead of an undated pair.
