ou might have missed it while zooming down El Camino Real in Palo Alto, unless the bright turquoise exterior or makeshift plywood signs advertising $1 tacos and boba caught your eye. If they did, you might have already discovered one of Palo Alto’s least expensive and most unique eateries: Valencia Asian Market. Worlds collide at the diminutive 3487 El Camino Real space, sandwiched between a yoga studio and the Orthopedic Sports & Spine Center. What used to be a Mexican market (Valencia Market) now has the touch of New York native of Thai descent Zen Bunchien, his 14-year-old son Audi (a Gunn High School freshman, lover of Taiwanese milk tea, engineering and music) and many of Audi’s friends.

Bunchien took over the space about two months ago, wanting to show his son how to build a business from scratch and also to create a fun, supportive place for Gunn students to hang out. The brother of a former customer of Valencia’s Market, Orlando Perez, who is a native of Mexico, is now the chef, cooking up traditional chicken, carne asada and al pastor tacos and burritos as well as Chinese BBQ pork with pineapple (the recipe is Bunchien’s father’s). Soon, there will be more fusion tacos: chicken teriyaki, Mongolian beef, crispy duck. An orange-chicken-fried-rice burrito is also on the horizon. And because Bunchien and Audi are passionate about milk tea, customers can also build their own tea for the insanely low price of $1. (Comparatively, the same size milk tea goes for about

Weekend $3.50 to $4 — plus add-ons — at other local milk tea shops.) The menu guides you through the steps to create your personal milk tea. Step one, choose milk or no milk; step two, green or black tea; step three, choose a flavor (mango, strawberry, honeydew, passion fruit, lychee or taro); step four, opt for any toppings you’d like (honey boba, popping boba, rainbow jelly, mango star jelly, lychee coconut jelly). On a recent afternoon, this reporter opted for green tea with no milk, plus passion fruit-and-honey boba, and was thoroughly satisfied with the refreshing and not overly sweet result. There’s also coffee for — you guessed it — just $1. The tacos, all with fresh handmade tortillas, are $1 or $1.50. The chicken taco was perfect; the meat came with crispy edges and was smothered in a mild verde sauce. You can also buy a dozen tortillas to take home ($3). A super burrito with beans, rice, meat (choose from chicken, pork, chorizo sausage, steak or Chinese BBQ pork), salsa, lettuce, sour cream and cheese goes for $7.99; a regular goes for $6.99 and the veggie burrito is a dollar less. For those who are more health conscious, Valencia offers a buildyour-own salad. The menu guides you: Choose a veggie (shredded

cabbage or romaine), a protein (meat — no tofu here) and dressing (lemon tahini, fig balsamic or Oriental, which is creamy with sesame and soy sauce). A side salad is $6.99; a main is $9.99. For those who want to pretend to be health conscious, order a salad — but make it a piadina: a thin, Italian flatbread sandwich

stuffed with a range of fillings, either sweet and savory. At Valencia Asian Market — which if you’re in the know is referred to as VAM — you get a heaping serving of your custom salad on one paper plate and two large, fresh, warm tortillas on the other. Transfer salad to tortillas, wrap into taco form and try

not to wolf it down. The Chinese BBQ pork with pineapple and oriental sauce go perfectly together. The salad came with chopped romaine, large chunks of tomato, cilantro and small pieces of pork and grilled pineapple. There was plenty to take home. Bunchien gets much of his produce from the Milk Pail

Market in Mountain View. There are also specials: For now, Friday is fish tacos and Saturday is birria de chivo, or goat stew. The food is good, but the intention behind VAM is even better. Bunchien, who moved to Palo Alto recently from San Francisco so his son could take advantage of the high quality public school system, felt like there was no place for Gunn students to gather and hang out. He believed such a spot was particularly important this year, in light of several student deaths by suicide and the heightened focus on academic stress and mental health. “They’re under a lot of stress at Gunn. I was like, ‘just come here, relax,’” Bunchien said. And they do. On a recent Friday afternoon after school, the market was packed with highschool students. They were inside and outside, waiting in line for boba, talking to Bunchien and each other. Almost all of the market’s employees except Perez, the cook, are also Gunn students. There are no frills at Valencia Asian Market, with everything served on paper plates, mismatched chairs and the space still in the midst of improvements. Bunchien, his son and his son’s friends are working on upgrades. They recently painted

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON 000

In the 2015 superhero sequel, “Avengers: Age of Ultron,� gods and monsters wage war as the rest of us, puny humans, run scared. At the outset, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), aka Iron Man, seeks peace by cracking next-level artificial intelligence and imbuing his Iron Legion of peacekeeping robots with a benign mind that will put the Avengers out of the world-saving business. But Stark’s mad science — whipped up in tandem with Dr. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), aka the Hulk — goes awry with lightning-quick speed: The resulting intelligence Ultron (James Spader) has its own destructive notions of what it means to save the planet. That’s the core conflict of the densely plotted “Age of Ultron,� writer-director Joss Whedon’s follow-up to 2012’s megahit Marvel Comics superhero team-up “The Avengers.� Along with Stark and Banner, the sequel reunites Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), as well as a gaggle of other Marvel Cinematic Universe characters. Whedon tames the beast into something spectacularly epic, if a bit exhausting: bursting with destructive mayhem but grounded by interesting character beats, rife with dark implications but seasoned with good humor (ever wonder what an Avengers cocktail party is like?). Better than any filmmaker yet, Whedon understands comic-book storytelling, with its pop-operatic grandeur and colorful characters, and the Comic-Con crowd has never been better served. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action, violence and destruction, and for some suggestive comments. Two hours, 21 minutes. — P.C.

MONKEY KINGDOM 00 1/2

Like “African Cats,� “Chimpanzee� and “Bears� before it, the new Disneynature film “Monkey Kingdom� vigorously anthropomorphizes a handful of representative animals into digestible human archetypes. In the Sri Lankan jungle, filmmakers Mark Linfield and Alastair Fothergill observe a group of macaques over a period of months as the monkeys go about the rituals of survival: acquiring food, dodging predators and mating. Cheeky narration delivered by Tina Fey abets hard-working editors to piece together a story arc from the details at hand. “Low-born commoner� Maya struggles to win food at “Castle Rock,� an area dominated by alpha male Raja and “high-born� trio “The Sisterhood.� This almost Shakespearean pastiche thickens when Maya mates with handsome stranger Kumar and produces baby Kip, who Maya must (at least briefly) raise as a single mother. These venial sins continue the film series’ tradition of ascribing human motivations to animal actions, though it’s rarely egregious. The monkeys are clearly eating, grooming and mating as advertised. Mortal sins for documentary filmmaking come in the form of staging scenes, conflating timelines or otherwise mischaracterizing footage. All that aside, just the raw footage has its own high-def, glorious value, in part aesthetic and in part academic. Maybe we should all ignore the men and women behind the curtain and simply enjoy the underwater shots of monkeys swimming. Rated G. One hour, 21 minutes. — P.C.

997 All Other Legals NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: PETER F. STEVENS Case No.: 115PR 176455 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of PETER F. STEVENS a.k.a. PETER JOSEPH LUCIEN FREDERIC STEVENS. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: JUDITH A. GOLDSTEIN in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA CLARA. The Petition for Probate requests that: JUDITH A. GOLDSTEIN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on June 22, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept.: 10 of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, located at 191 N. First St., San Jose, CA, 95113. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Petitioner: Jeffrey R. Loew, Esq.

CSA has been the community’s social service safety-net for over 57 years. They provide critical support services for low-income individuals, families and seniors in our community who are on the verge or already homeless. One out of 25 people in Northern Santa Clara County are assisted with CSA case management and/or food supplements. CSA is particularly invested in the well-being of the children in our client families. Every August they host a Back-to-School backpack, school supplies and shoe voucher distribution day for over 900 children. If you are a parent, you know keeping kids in the right shoes is neither easy nor cheap. Sereno Group is proud to support the commitment and service that CSA provides to our community. For more information about their program or how you can get involved, please visit www.csacares.org

DURING THE MONTHS OF APRIL THROUGH JUNE 2015, SERENO GROUP AND ITS LOS ALTOS AGENTS WILL BE CONTRIBUTING 1% OF THEIR GROSS COMMISSIONS TO THE COMMUNITY SERVICES AGENCY FUND.
