Funny Signage: "Yum Yum Tree" / myLot

Philippines

November 22, 2021 6:53pm CST

Whenever I see this signage while walking to the town proper, I always think how yummy is a tree. I do find weird to name a small-scale business like this. How can a tree be yummy?

Can you interpret what's the meaning of this?

It is also a good assumption to this idea.

@RubyHawk For those who love Korean dishes, it is the best place to have some.

I think you are right about this matter. They must be referring to these fruit trees.

The is a comedy movie entitled "Under the Yum Yum Tree". Maybe the name comes from that. Who knows

Since it is a Korean restaurant, I assumed that they got it from that movie. What is the genre of this movie?

I can read your mind about it. Koreans have moments of using wrong terms on something.

I think it's a "hurban expression" but I do not know the exact meaning.

Yes, I can... I wouldn't be surprised if the café isn't named for the Yum Yum Tree or barringtonia edulis. "a species of tree with edible fruits from the southwestern Pacific region, being found on Fiji and Vanuatu. Common names include cut nut, pao nut, boxfruit tree, heart tree, and yum-yum tree." Excerpt taken from Wikipedia.

I have not seen edible fruit trees. I like the idea of exploring Vanuatu. One of my co-volunteers claimed that it is a nice country to explore.

@Shavkat You don't have apple, peach or cherry trees there? I know there are mango trees, banana trees, avocado trees and papayas growing there. I've never heard of Vanuatu but I have heard of Fiji and The Solomon Islands. I know very little about them, though.

@DaddyEvil That's nice. I think Vanuatu is like a place near Africa. It was the ideal place for volunteers to want to be.

You know Trees can be eaten too. Bark and what not many people survived that way. Overall I think they mean its like a tree of life and their practices are sustainable.

You have a point. It can be referred to as a 'tree of life.' We can survive having some fruits on trees.

It's hard to come up with a catchy business name. Maybe they are talking about their restaurant as the tree and the fruits of it are the food they serve.

I am not sure if they are serving fruits from fruit trees because it is a Korean restaurant.
