One night (betel nut) stand
The name of this betel nut stand is yīyèqíng (一葉情). It translates literally as "one leaf feeling". This is perhaps a reference to the leaf the betel nut is wrapped in. The character for leaf is also a homophone with the character for night (夜). This also gives an alternative meaning to the name of the betel nut stand as yīyèqíng means "one night stand".
