I like the Market at Mekong, but I've been gping to Lee Lee's since my ASU days and I prefer the Boba shop there.

I think it's more of a subjective view on the individual and what it is you're looking for. I will say that Mekong had the freshest coconut I have had outside of anywhere that grows them.

Grocery Store comparison, Lee Lee has gone down hill (Ming seems to have lost interest in keeping the store clean), Mekong has better everything, especially the meat / fish counters.

For Boba, nothing better than The Street Boba Cafe at 1116 South Dobson Road Mesa, Arizona

I agree with the condition of lee lee. I remember going to the street when it first opened like 10 years ago. It was awesome but since recently coming back to AZ from Japan, it just looks like they have no interest in being competitive.

Mekong seems to be the choice. I've never eaten there and barely remember the Boba but remember enjoying it when I had it.

On a separate note, car goes back in for warranty work tomorrow. Dash is lifting and valves are SUPER chatty are the main two followed by a rattle in the back seat area. 6000 I've owned her now and I love her to death. 4 times of being in for warranty seems a bit much to me though. Big Two is putting Emme out of commission for an estimated 2-5 days (because of weekend) and putting me in a rental. Just makes me nervous

So, on another note. I lashed out in a most vulgar way tonight against our meeting spot. I am not ashamed nor will I apologize. The service there is lackluster at best, the supervision is of high school education and once confronted with diversity they become confrontational and blamed the 'patrone' as the responsible party.

I have stood by so graciously and allowed this inconsiderateness ecaserate into a Malay of unyielding shit! I will not stand idle as my friends and colleagues are constantly ignored respite our continuum existence.

I shall handle this company my own. If my friends so choose to frequent this establishment than so be it. I however, have spent my last $76.61 there tonight.

I have no time for ignorance, adversity, or people wanting to play Johnny fuck fuck!

Everyone who comes out I consider a friend, to include, the new people who have never joined us.

Thank you, for what each and every one of you brings to us.

In your defense it was literally the worst service I have ever experienced at any establishment. This was only the second time I have ever been to that establishment and the first west side meet attended but I must agree in saying everyone's money should go elsewhere.

It was fantastic meeting you guys and I hope to begin attending more regularly if I can get away from the shop now and then.
