7777br /Meal for two, including wine and service pound;175 /ppOne of the curiosities of this week's
restaurant - along with 'How do they live with themselves?' and 'Why isn't there a baying mob
outside with pitchforks and burning torches?' - is that it should be named after a deity whose
followers are famed for their serenity and yet should be capable of engendering in me such a blind,
raging, spittle-flecked fury. There will be casualties in the restaurant trade as a result of the
current economic turmoil; I sincerely hope London's Buddha Bar is one of them./ppI should have
given up after the hassle of booking. Not merely the five minutes of thrashing hold music nor the
irritating demand for my first name (and my usual reply that I only wanted to book a table, not be
their pen friend), but also the requirement that I supply an email address. Why? 'Because it's the
only way we can confirm you have a reservation.' Really? So putting the name down in a book, the
method that's worked for a century or more, isn't good enough? Absolutely not, for when the email
arrives it reveals that any table booked before 10pm must be given back within two hours and that,
while there is a bar, they don't guarantee you'll be allowed in to it. There is a particular word I
could use here, but I refuse to denigrate the honest pleasures of self-abuse purely to make a
point./ppThe London Buddha Bar is part of an international chain. Previously I visited the outpost
in Dubai and was struck there by the late middle age of the male clientele, and the oestrogen-rich
youth of their friends, who were doubtless their nieces. Here, as there, hedge fund-sized buckets
of cash have been spent on filling an empty space (under Waterloo Bridge) with gargantuan Asian
artefacts and then turning the lights down so low you can't see any of them. The only one you can
see is the enormous Buddha; even as a diehard, to-the-barricades atheist I find the exploitation of
a religious symbol like this offensive. There is just enough light by which to read the pan-Asian
menu, which was a shame, because it meant we could order./ppThe food is that killer combination of
stupendously clumsy and grossly overpriced. pound;10 worth of wok-fried salt and pepper calamari
and frog's legs was leathery, greasy and unrelenting. The only contrast came from the frog's legs,
which promised a little light haemorrhage as the hidden bones punctured your mouth. Worse, and
pound;5 more expensive, was the crayfish and crawfish summer roll, speaking gloomily of an
Icelandic summer of wind and rain and general hardship: flavourless crayfish, mushy avocado, dull
shredded carrots. The rice-based wrap was so dry as to be edible, but only if you had no choice. We
did, so we didn't./ppNext, some sushi: pound;3 a piece, minimum order two pieces. I looked at the
unglossy lozenge of tuna. I ran my finger along its edge. It was hard, as if it had been cut long
before being plated. Eel and turbot were lifeless. Of the main courses the most cynical was
pound;26 for a meagre portion of Korean seared beef, tender but tasteless, then smeared with a
pungent - read unpleasant - tomato sauce. In an attempt to complete the tour of Asia we also had a
Thai-style red curry with shrimp, and it was indeed in the style of a Thai curry much as Zimbabwe
is in the style of a democracy. The small shrimps - seven of them for pound;16.50 - were served
mixed in with rice inside the husk of a coconut, with the slick of red curry sauce in a saucer on
the side. I genuinely do not understand how any self-respecting kitchen can serve up trash like
this, at these prices, and still find the will to get up in the morning./ppAnd so to dessert, 'the
best part of the meal' as the waiter said. We live in hope, I replied. Only to have it dashed, for
the Buddha Bar is where hope, like the ingredients, goes to die. A chocolate fondue for pound;12.50
- sorry to go on about the prices, but really - brought something congealing in a bowl, without a
burner to keep it moving, some friable, dusty meringues, a couple of crumbly biscuits of the sort
that are served after Jewish funerals and a little flavour-free fruit. Was there anything to
recommend the place? Yes, our waiter, who was cheerful and efficient and completely wasted here.
Save yourself, my friend. Get a job elsewhere. You don't deserve this. And frankly, neither did
we./ppa href="mailto:jay.rayner@observer.co.uk"jay.rayner@observer.co.uk/a/pdiv style="float: left;

src="http://img.directoalpaladar.com/2008/11/bacalaotomatekalamata.JPG"/p pAyer vino a visitarme,
por sorpresa, mi querido amigo Costas, vive en una casita azul a la orilla del mar, en un
pequeño lugar, en Grecia. Siempre que viene a verme su madre le manda, para mí, un
tarro de aceitunas Kalamata que ha preparado ella misma./p pA Costas le chifla el bacalao,
así que he preparado strongbacalao con tomate y Kalamata /strongpara él, en honor,
claro, a su madre, Berenice, que ha aportado algo muy importante al plato, las Kalamata./p pPor
cierto Berenice es griego y significa algo así como, “la que lleva a la
victoria”, seguro que triunfáis con el plato./p pstrongIngredientes para 4
comensales./strong/p p4 lomos de bacalao desalado, 1 guindilla picante, 4 cucharadas de pulpa de
tomate natural, 16 aceitunas Kalamata (o loaimes, o árabes, o similares, grandes, negras, de
carne abundante y sabrosa, con sabor a aceite, exquisitas todas ellas), y aove./p p!--more--/p
pstrongElaboración./strong/p pPonemos en u wok, o sartén honda un chorreón de
aove, sobre él la guindilla troceada y encima los lomos de bacalao, piel abajo. Acercamos al
fuego y, sin dejar de agitar el wok o sartén, vamos haciendo un pilpil (emulsionamos la
gelatina de la piel del bacalao con el aceite dando como resultado una salsa con cuerpo
blanquecino-amarillenta)./p pimg class="centro" alt="bacalaotomatepilpil"
