Review: Curry King (Union City)

• Curry chicken lunch special
• Lamb Tikka Masala
• Chai Tea (free)
• Wheat based dessert

Curry chicken was good which also comes with rice and curry mixed vegetables. Great price for $6 with naan. The naan was excellent. They had very nice crisp on the outside yet chewy in the inside that goes very well with the curry sauce.

My friend had the lamb tikka masala which I really liked the sauce more than the lamb. The lamb was good, but I think I still preferred the chicken.

Chai tea is unsweetend which was nice since I do not particularly enjoy over-sweetened tea. You can add sugar to your taste.

There was also dessert made of wheat. Unfortunately, I did not catch what it was called. It was a nice sweet treat for the end of the meal.

We were the only ones there at an odd hour. People were nice, service was good. Portions and price are reasonable. I would definitely like to go back just for the naan (there were also other naans with garlic, onion, etc.) and try some other dishes (perhaps the chicken tikka masala).

Life: Stanford University (tour)

Spent a couple hours walking around Stanford University. The campus is really large. There are definitely a lot of nice areas to just tour around and take pictures even though almost all the buildings were closed for the holidays. The architecture of the buildings were definitely more interesting.

I stopped by the Packard Electrical Engineering building and the Gates Computer Science building. I would have loved to go in to see their labs. Too bad there weren't anyone going in or out of those buildings.

Life: Google Plex (Mountain View) - Drive-by tour

I had a driving tour of the Google campus in Sunnyvale. I always imagined that it was one large complex so I was surprised that it was just a typical commercial area with some Google themes sprinkled around. For a holiday weekend, there were still a few people around. I also got to see the Google bikes. Unfortunately, I do not know any Google employees in the area so I can tour inside.

Spent the afternoon at the Shoreline Lake at Mountain View Park. I saw a lot of people playing golf, kayaking, canoeing, stand boarding, biking, walking, and other park-like activities. The park is right next to the campus area.
