× My favorite foods is depending on what country I visit.
✓ My favorite food depends on which country I visit.
The subject 'favorite foods' (plural) conflicts with singular verb 'is'; also sentence structure is incorrect. Change to singular 'favorite food' and use present simple 'depends' for habitual truth. Use 'which country' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'My favorite food depends on which country I visit.'
× Example, when I visit Japan I really love to eat sushi, but when I'm in Thailand I really love to eat spicy.
✓ For example, when I visit Japan I really love to eat sushi, but when I'm in Thailand I really love spicy food.
Missing article or noun after 'spicy' makes sentence ungrammatical. Also add 'For' before 'example' and keep parallel structure. Use 'spicy food' instead of just 'spicy.'
× So both of them are my favorite is which is, uh, represent.
✓ So both are my favourites, which they represent.
Sentence is ungrammatical and redundant. 'Both of them are my favorite' should be 'Both are my favourites.' Use a relative clause correctly: 'which they represent' or better omit unclear phrase. Suggest shortening to 'So both are my favourites.'
× As a member, I like to eat, uh, my favorite food like soup, clear soup without any seasoning or spicy ink and rice.
✓ As a child, I liked to eat simple foods like clear soup without any seasoning and rice.
'As a member' is incorrect contextually; likely 'As a child.' Tense should be past 'liked' to match 'when you were young.' 'My favorite food like' is ungrammatical; list nouns instead. 'Spicy ink' is unclear; removed. Use 'simple foods' and correct conjunctions.
× So it's really comfortable to me when I was young.
✓ So it was really comforting to me when I was young.
Mixing present 'it's' with past 'when I was young' is inconsistent. Use past tense 'it was' and correct adjective to 'comforting' (adjective describing feeling). 'Comfortable to me' is not natural here.
× But when I grow up, my.
✓ But when I grew up, my tastes changed.
Incomplete sentence fragment. Tense should be past 'grew up' to match context, and complete thought needed: 'my tastes changed.'
× Yes I I do eat different food at different time of the year.
✓ Yes, I do eat different foods at different times of the year.
Pluralization: 'different food' -> 'different foods'; 'time' -> 'times'. Also remove duplicate 'I'. Maintain present simple for habitual action.
× For example in the winter around January or February elderly to eat shabu.
✓ For example, in winter around January or February, elderly people tend to eat shabu.
'Elderly' used alone is an adjective; need noun 'elderly people.' Use verb 'tend to' for habitual action instead of 'to eat.' Add commas and remove 'the' before 'winter' for general seasons.
× But on summer elderly to eat like a bingsu iced and cold ditched like this.
✓ But in summer elderly people tend to eat cold dishes like bingsu and other iced desserts.
Use preposition 'in summer' not 'on summer.' 'Elderly' needs noun 'people.' 'Tend to eat' required. 'Bingsu' is a dessert so describe as 'cold dishes like bingsu' and correct 'iced and cold ditched' to 'iced desserts.'
× So I think it's depend on disease.
✓ So I think it depends on the climate or the season.
'Depend' needs third person singular 'depends.' 'Disease' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'weather' or 'climate.' Provide clearer nouns. Use 'it' subject with 'depends.'
× Yes absolutely changed when I was a child.
✓ Yes, it absolutely changed since I was a child.
Missing subject 'it.' Tense should express change over time: 'changed since I was a child' or 'has absolutely changed since I was a child.' Use present perfect 'has changed' for ongoing relevance: 'It has absolutely changed since I was a child.'
× I really love to eat my food but when I grow up I really love to eat spicy.
✓ I really loved to eat mild food when I was a child, but when I grew up I really came to love spicy food.
Tense consistency: use past for childhood 'loved' and 'was'; past for change 'grew up.' 'My food' is vague; use 'mild food.' 'Eat spicy' needs noun 'spicy food.' Use 'came to love' to show change.
× So I think it's because of the taste tongue or the society I lived when I grew up.
✓ So I think it's because of my taste buds and the society I grew up in.
'Taste tongue' is incorrect; use 'taste buds.' 'The society I lived' requires preposition 'in': 'the society I grew up in.' Use possessive 'my.'
× We usually eat the spicy food like sometime or soups or Tom Yum goong like this.
✓ We usually eat spicy foods such as soups, like Tom Yum Goong, for example.
Article 'the' unnecessary. 'Like sometime' is incorrect; use 'such as' or 'for example.' Plural 'spicy foods' fits general statement. Capitalize dish name 'Tom Yum Goong.'
