You can turn food into pretty much anything if you put your mind to it, and Min Kyungjin’s edible creations are a case in point. She’s the mastermind behind the popular Instagram page Sidetable, and her food art is walking a fine line between outlandish and adorable.
Min Kyungjin has come a long way since joining Instagram, and her page is now followed by almost 700,000 people. She became a viral sensation thanks to her unique take on food art, and she specializes in crafting deliciously adorable snacks and meals, often inspired by the animal world.
Kyungjin’s creations take the shape of puppies, penguins, bears, and many other animals, and she enjoys looking for inspiration everywhere around her.
“I usually collect images that I like and often browse through them for inspiration… Once I find the method, I just execute it. Of course, there are times when I fail, but that’s okay. I can try again another day or move on to something else since there are so many things I love,” she told Bored Panda.
Kyungjin wants her creations to look and taste delicious at the same time, and she’s always striving to find a balance between artistic expression and nutritional value. She’s using her body of work to pay homage to Korean cuisine, putting a fun twist on dishes she enjoys preparing for her own family.
