I was randomly craving for Thai food that night. And coincidentally, Bangkok Jam was the first restaurant I saw as I stepped into Marina Square. Without further ado, we headed there for my Thai food craving fix.We asked one of the staff if we could sit on the sofa and she said yes. When we were looking at the menu, suddenly another staff (I think he was the head staff) came and told us that the seat we're sitting on was reserved (which means they accept seat reservation) and he asked us to move
We asked one of the staff if we could sit on the sofa and she said yes. When we were looking at the menu, suddenly another staff (I think he was the head staff) came and told us that the seat we're sitting on was reserved (which means they accept seat reservation) and he asked us to move to another vacant seat, which was located in a secluded corner of the restaurant. He did request us to move politely, but still, I was a bit upset that I had to move out of my comfort zone haha.
Thai Iced TeaIt was actually not written in the menu. There was only Caramel Thai Tea Blend. I just anyhow said I wanted to order Thai iced tea, the staff didn't say anything and noted down my order. I got the Thai iced tea that I want, not the Caramel Thai Tea Blend coz I didn't feel any trace of caramel and it didn't look like it was blended. The drink was a bit diluted though.
Aep Gai - $13.90chiang mai style grilled curried minced chicken wrapped in banana leaves
When his order came, bf got dumbfounded. "Like this only?", he said sarcastically. It didn't come with rice, so he ordered a bowl of white rice for a buck. I tried a spoonful and my, it tasted so weird! Didn't think it was worth the price. I suggested him to order dishes that had photo in the menu next time haha.
Khao Na Gai - $11.90honey sesame chicken served with hom mali rice
I'm really blind when it comes to Thai food, so I just ordered one that sounded familiar to me. This dish tasted like sweet and sour chicken, with onion, red and green bell pepper. I wondered what on earth was Hom Mali rice, and turned out it was just normal plain rice coming with a very small portion.
Overall, the food what we had for dinner was not really pleasant. Service-wise, it was good, I must say. All the staffs were polite and always put smiles on their faces. They were prompt and attentive as well (calling them to refill the plain water wasn't a big deal). Despite the good service, I'm still unsure if I would give Bangkok Jam a second try...For more reviews, kindly visit http://ariellacahya.blogspot.com
