Rajah Boutique

To be fair, this trip was more for the nostalgia meal. Bangkok Bangkok was our favorite date-place in the mid 80s, and I think the last time we ate there was around late 87. It was disappointing to find the restaurant was half the size and no longer had the seating pit tables. We ordered the chicken satay appetizer. A plate with a cast iron hibachi, Seared chicken skewers with sides of Cucumber sauce & peanut sauce arrived. I plucked off one of the two chicken skewers that were placed on the fire, taking the first bite. It felt spongy so I pulled the chicken of the stick, cut it lengthwise and realized I'd just eaten raw poultry. I chose a 2nd skewer, which was fully cooked, but I'd lost my appetite for satay. Hubs had ordered the Earth Wind & Fire II. He had to wait a few minutes for our server to bring out rice. His dish was very good, just as remembered. I'd ordered the Pad Preo Warn with chicken. My dish arrived with shrimp & had to be returned. It was delivered just a few minutes later. It was just a tad spicier than ordered, but still very delicious and just as I remembered. We had to have separate checks for business purposes, and I noticed there was already an 18% surcharge added. Overall the food was good, the service was good. The location has ample parking & easy access. But I'll no longer crave a meal there, which is good since we live 6 hours away.
