It looks like I have Shanghainese food at least once a week. Today, I tried 369 with my cousin and her friend. Environment & Hygiene:Since it was lunch time, it was quite busy. Lots of office people having lunch. It looked like it could use a renovation inside because everything looked quite old, but I guess that was its style. Hygiene was okay for old places like this.

Environment & Hygiene:
Since it was lunch time, it was quite busy. Lots of office people having lunch. It looked like it could use a renovation inside because everything looked quite old, but I guess that was its style. Hygiene was okay for old places like this.
Taste & Value:The 3 of us ordered 4 dishes to share.
What we got:
1. Wonton- There were quite a few in one order. Although I found the wonton wrap a bit thick, the filling was fresh and tasty, so it was good.
2. Pork Chop with Veggie Rice- When the waiter first put down the meat, I wasn't too impressed because of its look. It looked as if it had been sitting, but I was WRONG. It was hot and absolutely delicious! It has been a long while since I've had such good tasting pork. The seasoning was perfect. The veggie rice too was very flavourful. Usually the rice is packed with MSG, so I get very thirsty afterwards, but I was okay after eating it.
3. Veggie with Shredded Pork- This came with 2 bowls of white rice and soup. This sounds stupid, but the flavours tasted very Shanghainese. Ha. It was good, just a bit greasy.
4. Xiao Long Bao (5)- We ordered 5, but 10 came, which explains the big steamer it was served in. The first staff refused to admit that the order was wrong, but then another came over and kindly took the extra 5 away. These babies were juicy. The taste was not bad, but the flavour of ginger was quite strong.
Service:The service was a mix of good and bad. Some were nice and some just didn't care. Oh well.
Final Verdict:
The pricing is very reaonable and the taste is good. I noticed that a lot of people ordered the Shanghainese fried noodles, so I want to try that next time.
