× Well, I have a sweet tooth especially I loves cake because of their rich texture and flavour.
✓ Well, I have a sweet tooth; especially, I love cake because of its rich texture and flavour.
Uses third person singular verb form 'loves' incorrectly with first person subject 'I' (Rule: I + base verb). Change to 'love'. Also 'their' refers to plural; 'cake' is singular so use the possessive adjective 'its'. Improve sentence flow by adding punctuation.
× Uh. However, sometimes I prefer spicy foods because of their tolerance and it feels more exciting and satisfying.
✓ However, sometimes I prefer spicy food because it tastes more exciting and satisfying.
'Their tolerance' is incorrect because tolerance is not a property of foods; likely meant 'taste' or 'flavor'. 'Spicy foods' can be plural but better to use uncountable 'spicy food' with 'it'. 'It feels' is not appropriate for food; use 'it tastes'. Adjust pronoun to match singular noun.
× I vividly remember when I was young I loved having pancake my my mother used to make me pancakes which I really enjoy and I was delighted one day when my mother cooked for me when I was little.
✓ I vividly remember that when I was young I loved having pancakes; my mother used to make them for me, and I really enjoyed it. I was delighted one day when my mother cooked for me.
Multiple tense and number errors: 'pancake' should be plural 'pancakes' when referring generally. 'Used to make me pancakes which I really enjoy' mixes past habitual with present 'enjoy'; change to past 'enjoyed'. Repetition 'my my' removed. Split run-on sentence into clearer clauses and maintain past tense consistency.
× Well, totally, I love to explore different types of foods and cuisines. Uh, basically in my culture, we have a different seasonal fruits or vegetables. So yes, in summers we love to, we love to eat different food, whereas in winters we prefer eating our.
✓ Well, I love to explore different types of food and cuisines. In my culture, we have different seasonal fruits and vegetables. So yes, in summer we love to eat different foods, whereas in winter we prefer other dishes.
'Different types of foods' is acceptable but 'food' uncountable is better here. 'A different seasonal fruits or vegetables' mixes article and plural—remove 'a' and use 'fruits and vegetables'. 'In summers' should be 'in summer' or 'in the summer'. 'Eat different food' -> 'eat different foods'. Final phrase 'prefer eating our' is incomplete; replace with 'prefer other dishes' to convey contrast.
× Well yes, when I was a child I love mangoes back then, but now I personally love to eat lychees because I feel they are more sweeter and they are more satisfying so.
✓ Well yes, when I was a child I loved mangoes, but now I personally like to eat lychees because I find them sweeter and more satisfying.
Tense inconsistency: 'when I was a child I love' should be past 'loved'. 'More sweeter' is a redundancy (comparative 'sweeter' not 'more sweeter'). 'They are' -> 'them' as object. Remove trailing 'so' and use 'I find them' for natural expression.
