I don't think it is Raja Puri. The bloom shape and color is wrong -- looks exactly like Cavendish, which would explain the flavor. It shouldn't have the light colors in the bracts, nor should they roll as much. The Raja Puri I've tasted are very similar to Brazilian ("Hawaiian Apple") and not like Cavendish.
Here's what one should look like:
