Furthermore, the sequential nature of dining experience stages proposed in theframework provides a methodological implication in terms of the operationalisation of the framework.As described earlier,to ensure freedom from bias. Also, to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the various experiences at all dining stages, the research participants involved in three dining stages should be the same. That is, those who are questioned about their perceptions of the actual dining and their level of satisfaction after dining, should be those who had been approached to discuss their expectations prior to dining on local food. Such an approach creates not only a holistic understanding of the local dining experiences, but also allows the complexities surrounding the experiences to emerge and be explored more precisely. Methodologically speaking, this would improve the accuracy of the data collected.
