I think I've found another place which I could get myself some pretty good home styled Japanese cooking right down at Robertson Quay (60 Robertson Quay, #01-01 The Quayside, S238252). After hearing about the rather unfortunate change of management down at Wasabi Tei, Bon Goût could just be the next best thing to happen across. And the funny thing is, I've actually ate here once quite a few years back and it didn't really register much except for the fact that it was a bookstore of sorts as well. This time round, I found myself liking the food that I dropped by twice in consecutive nights for dinner.
Having little idea of what was good from the place apart from hearing about their curry, I decided to wander off the beaten path to try something else instead and landed myself a maguro zuke don and their beef steak don. Both of which turned out to be really good choices. I couldn't really identify what about the tuna that was great. Perhaps it was the fact that the slices of tuna was of a really appropriate temperature resulting it to be soft and still possessing of the texture and flavor of the meat. Simply enough with just a drizzle of shoyu and accompanied with abit of that strong wasabi, it was something that I couldn't get enough of and I'm really going to come back again another time.
The beef steak don came in a form of sliced pan fried beef done medium with little but shoyu and butter. Again, this was also really good stuff. These couple of dons have assured my return at least for the next couple of times.

2nd dinner
Having had a good impression of their "beef steak" we landed ourselves a beef steak curry with rice which was very decent in its own rights. It wasn't something that wowed me to the point that I would order again soon since I would have preferred to retain all flavors of the meat without having the sweetish and mildly spicy curry come into the picture, but I've to say it still wasn't bad at all.
Another pleasant surprise came in the form of the curry pork udon which featured a more savory curry in comparison to the one that was used for the rice. I don't normally order udon much and I guess, this would be one of those times that I'm pretty glad that I did. The noodles were soft and springy without being overly chewy and I'm guessing that this would be the correct texture of how they should be done. So now that Wakashachiya is no longer around, this would probably be the next place I'll be seeing myself getting curry udon, even though there wasn't a cheese option available. The generous shabu thin slices of meaty pork soaked underneath that savory curry made up enough for it. Awesome option for those cool weathers, if only they would come more frequently.
