Iza – Like finding an old friend
That is if your friend were a beautifully crafted dish of buffalo rendang in a bento tray.
By the way, this is not meant to serve as a formal review or anything. I just happened to have lunch at Iza today, and I wanted to share the experience with the four of you who read this blog regularly. Thank you for that.
I’ve long complained that the ethnic food available in Missoula leaves much to be desired, like bhan mi sandwiches for instance. But not any more. Iza has a relaxed, if not tropical, theme and serves, at least for lunch, a variety of southeast Asian dishes made mostly with local ingredients. The bison in my buffalo rendang comes from Washington, but who can blame them, right?
And the selection of fresh green teas was phenomenal. I tried a new sencha on server’s recommendation, and I was impressed by the freshness, the vibrancy of color and the sweetness.
Can’t wait to try Iza for dinner one of these evenings.
Ciao for now,
Big Foodie
