My dad is an avid lover of Chinese cuisine and so he took me to try China Times in Deira City Centre. I had an absolute lovely time with my family here, the place was very empty so we had tip toe service for everything. The place was certainly very modern and chic. It's called China Times but it serves Japanese cuisine as well with a sushi train inside.
We ordered a large variety of food since we were seven people. For starters, my sister and I shared chicken corn soup (22dhs). This is, without fail the thing that we just MUST order if we go to a Chinese restaurant. However, when I first tried the soup it tasted so plain! There was so many chunks of chicken and I think the corn flour that was not mixed properly and was just downright not pleasant.
The rest of the food came at the same time, their service was super fast (probably because we were the only table being cooked for) and the china time dim sum basket we ordered (55dhs) came with three sauces.
So, this is sizzling tofu with vegetables. I guess I'm so used to the sizzling tofu they serve in Asian restaurants in Perth that I was disappointed when I saw this on the table. Taste-wise it was not that bad, but not that good either. It was quite bland, the only thing I could taste was pepper. Lots and lots of pepper.
As for the chicken noodles (38dhs) and mixed sushi, I was too full when I reached this dish so I didn't get to try it to make any comments. It looks great though, and nobody complained so I'm assuming it tastes decent.
This was the main star at the table for me. It was the first time I tried fried eggplant (33dhs) and the honey chilli sauce that went with it, nailed it. I thought this tasted amazing but my mother thought it tasted normal. I have no other eggplant-y dish to compare it to, but it's yum.

I was a hostess at a Mexican restaurant and I did have to take order of Food Delivery, never had to put them in the computer system though because waiters had "numbers" and hostesses did not, and I definitely did not have to deliver the food.
