15 Times a Simple Lunch Turned Into a Work of Art

Even noodles and rice can look like a masterpiece if you make them with all your heart. Sometimes all we need to cheer ourselves up in the morning is adorable food that peeks out from our plates. Marvelous dishes make us admire and cry at the same time because we know everything will be eaten in seconds.
