The most precious gift a new mother can receive after giving birth is, of course, her newborn baby.
But one woman received another rather incredible surprise after welcoming her child in a Japanese hospital, in the form of dozens of incredible dishes that have left the internet green with envy.
The mum took to Imgur to share 12 images of fancy trays of food from her Japanese hospital that consistently featured a main meat or noodle entree surrounded by several options of healthy vegetable sides, rice, sauce, and tea.
While the mother enjoyed the lap of Japanese hospital luxury, other mothers couldn't help but compare her fine dining experience to their dismal post delivery meals of flimsy french toast in the US and Wonder bread and baloney sandwiches in Canada.
The mother had no trouble recovering while in the lavish comfort of her Japanese care and they made sure to nourish her soul and stomach with trays of food, never with less than five side plates of vegetables, fruits, tofu, rice and soup.
