× I like dumpling the most because it is filled with various kinds of vegetables and uh, meats, meat product.
✓ I like dumplings the most because they are filled with various kinds of vegetables and meats.
Use plural 'dumplings' for general preference (singular/plural issue). Use plural pronoun 'they' to match 'dumplings'. 'Meat product' is unnecessary; use 'meats' or 'meat' depending on meaning. Also remove filler words for clarity.
× I love it because there is a family gathering in making dumpling where we can get, uh, enjoy.
✓ I love them because cooking dumplings is a family gathering where we can relax and enjoy ourselves.
Original sentence has awkward structure and incorrect phrase 'there is a family gathering in making dumpling'. Rephrase to 'cooking dumplings is a family gathering'. Use plural 'dumplings' and add reflexive 'ourselves' for natural English.
× We can enjoy and get relaxation after a long time.
✓ We can relax and enjoy ourselves after a long time.
Phrase 'get relaxation' is unnatural; use 'relax'. Place adverbial phrase 'after a long time' at end. Add 'ourselves' for completeness.
× When I was young, I like pizza, uh, in comparison to other foods because it contains cheese, which is one of my, my favorite, favorite thing.
✓ When I was young, I liked pizza more than other foods because it contained cheese, which was one of my favorite things.
Use past tense 'liked' and 'contained' to match time frame 'When I was young'. Correct 'favorite thing' to plural 'favorite things'. Remove repetitions and filler words.
× And it also contains vegetables, meats, and it is also big in size where I, we all family members can enjoy it.
✓ It also had vegetables and meat, and it was large enough for all my family members to enjoy.
Match past tense with 'had' and 'was'. Use 'meat' or 'meats' consistently. Reorder clause to 'large enough for all my family members to enjoy' for natural phrasing. Remove redundant pronouns 'I, we'.
× As I do normally, I eat simple meals in my daily life like rice and Curry bought in special occasions.
✓ Normally, I eat simple meals in my daily life, like rice, and I buy curry on special occasions.
Original tense and structure unclear. Use present simple 'eat' and clarify 'buy curry on special occasions'. Capitalization: 'curry' should be lowercase.
× I used to eat a varieties of food like meat, salads and different kinds of rice preparation is done.
✓ I used to eat a variety of foods, like meat, salads, and different kinds of rice preparations.
Use 'a variety of' (singular form) and plural 'foods' or 'preparations'. Remove passive 'is done' and make noun 'preparations' plural for consistency.
× When I was child I preferred to eat chow Mein in comparison to dumplings, but currently I love to eat dumplings because they are filled with meat and vegetables with various kinds of attar that that add a spicy flavour I enjoy.
✓ When I was a child, I preferred to eat chow mein rather than dumplings, but now I love dumplings because they are filled with meat and vegetables and various kinds of spices that add a spicy flavour I enjoy.
Insert article 'a' before 'child'. Use 'chow mein' lowercase and 'rather than' for comparison. Change 'currently' to 'now' for natural speech. Replace 'attar' (incorrect) with 'spices'. Remove duplicate 'that'. Add necessary conjunctions and punctuation for clarity.
