Restaurants in Moscow are hysterically, emphatically, purposefully expensive and gaudy. They’re more gaudy, camp and flash than the Bolshoi Christmas Special. Turandot — named after a mad Chinese bint who had her boyfriends executed — is a so-so Chinese-Japanese fusion restaurant that has hand-painted, gold chinoiserie walls and dishes that start at about $50. The restaurant itself cost hopeless millions, and the handful of women lunching here have had no less expensive work. I’ve not seen so much radical cosmetic surgery as in Moscow. It’s not just a little tasteful tweaking and augmentation, a sly cheat of nature. It’s the complete hot-rod rebuilding. Even their mothers wouldn’t recognise them.
