OVERVIEW
FOOD “GU-JEOL-PAN”
A Gu-Jeol-Pan is a traditional royal food in South Korea. It refers to a platter with nine sections that are used to serve traditional delicacies. “Gu” means the number 9, “Jeol” means section, and “Pan” a tray or a platter. In Asian culture, the number nine holds a symbolic meaning of fullness and harmony. Gujeolpan is a dish that reflects that meaning by offering a harmony of colors, textures, and nutrients. The dish usually contains different vegetable, meat, and seafood.
