Saucy Balance, Missoula, Montana

Part of my delight of eating out at any Asian-inspired restaurant comes from the precision of scaled symmetry - a place for just the right amount of everything.
Missoula’s Iza Restaurant does this very well, combining relaxation and vibe with perfect portions of provoking sauces and oils to enhance your entrée - or just to visually relish. (And don’t let having this photo at your beck & call stop you from finding - or creating! - a live version of your very own. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it falls dreadfully short in the “sublime flavour” category. Not to mention the cardboard texture. You can do better in the real world. And we are so going to eat here when you come to visit.)
