According to the key informant, Pier Uno is their leading supplier of mussels, but they will also buy from other suppliers if needed. This suggests that the amount of mussels available at Pier Uno is only sometimes reliable or adequate to satisfy their demands.

A red tide occurrence would totally stop the mussel supply in the waters surrounding Pier Uno. With this, the Baduya Nga Tahong will not be available, and the Tahong Shanghai will be substituted by Pork Shanghai.

The sources stress that unsold cooked fritters are eaten at home to reduce food waste. They say nothing about how to get rid of other possible waste, including damaged food or leftover batter. This lack of information makes it challenging to evaluate the stall's sustainability practices as a whole.

Although the shop initially wraps takeaway orders with brown paper, they eventually utilize plastic bags, which may cause environmental issues.

• A La Carte Service
• Take out
• When ordering, customers write down their orders on a sheet of paper that the stall operators supply, indicating whether they are for Takeout or dining in. This procedure was implemented to avoid misunderstandings and mistakes when fulfilling orders, particularly during busy times.
• Fritters are prepared in advance, replenishing cooked fritters every few minutes.
• For Dine-in, the stall takes extra care to improve the presentation and maintain a hygienic serving surface. To achieve this, they serve the fritters on plates lined with Manila paper, which is a clean and eco-friendly substitute for banana leaves. This not only enhances the visual appeal of the dish but also ensures a safe and enjoyable dining experience for their patrons.
• For Takeout, fritters are first wrapped in brown paper to absorb heat and stop the taste of plastic from leaking into the food. After that, they are put in plastic bags for clients to transport.
