"It's just a few days before Thanksgiving break, which means gourds are heavily on my mind. While most people have sweet pumpkin spice inclinations in the fall, I prefer savory pumpkin iterations, like the comforting pumpkin curry at Miya มีญ่า in Altadena. In the dish, find mulched spicy red curry paste swirled with fatty coconut milk, chunks of pumpkin, carrots, and string beans that have held on to their bite - all combined to lustrous effect."
"On May 8, 2025, chef Miles Thompson and partner Andy Schwartz opened their restaurant Baby Bistro in a Craftsman home on the edge of Chinatown. The duo had a long run of sold-out pop-up dinners before taking the leap, which built up a solid following, thanks to Thompson's unique seasonal dishes and Schartz's wine selections. The room barely seats 35, making it an intimate spot to try Thompson's compact menu that always features farmers market ingredients served at their peak."
Miya in Altadena serves a savory pumpkin curry made with mulched spicy red curry paste, fatty coconut milk, pumpkin chunks, carrots, and crisp-tender string beans for a lustrous, comforting result. The curry pairs with tangy papaya salad and jasmine or warmed brown rice for convenient take-home dinners. Baby Bistro opened May 8, 2025, in a Craftsman home near Chinatown and grew from sold-out pop-ups into a 35-seat intimate restaurant showcasing Miles Thompson's seasonal, market-driven dishes alongside partner Andy Schwartz's wine selections. The onion bread resembles focaccia topped with sheep's milk cheese and pickled cauliflower; ordering the full menu is recommended.
