× My favorite food is Thai cuisines.
✓ My favorite food is Thai cuisine.
'Cuisine' as an uncountable noun refers to a nation's style of cooking and should be singular here. Using 'cuisines' suggests multiple types; the intended meaning is the Thai style in general. Use 'Thai cuisine' to sound natural. Suggestion: Use uncountable noun 'cuisine' when referring to a national or regional style of cooking.
× I love Thai food because it have so many variety of flavor likes a salty, sweet and spicy especially uh papaya salad.
✓ I love Thai food because it has so much variety of flavor, like salty, sweet, and spicy, especially papaya salad.
The subject 'it' (Thai food) requires the verb 'has' (third person singular). 'So many variety' is incorrect: 'variety' here is uncountable, so 'so much variety' is correct. 'Likes' is wrong for introducing examples; use 'like'. Also adjectives listing should be parallel and not preceded by 'a'. Suggestion: Ensure subject-verb agreement ('it has') and use 'much variety' with 'variety' as uncountable; use 'like' before examples and maintain parallel adjectives.
× I love papaya salad because it combines all of this flavor.
✓ I love papaya salad because it combines all of these flavors.
Demonstrative 'this' must agree in number with 'flavors'; use plural 'these flavors'. Also 'flavor' should be plural when referring to multiple tastes. 'All of these flavors' is the correct phrase. Suggestion: Match demonstratives and nouns in number: 'these flavors' for plural.
× When I was young, I like to eat dessert sweet Thai desserts and I have to eat all of that sweet because of my family on the sweet business.
✓ When I was young, I liked to eat sweet Thai desserts and I had to eat all of those sweets because my family was in the sweet business.
Talking about past habits requires past tense 'liked' and 'had to'. 'Dessert sweet Thai desserts' is redundant; reorder to 'sweet Thai desserts'. 'All of that sweet' should be plural 'all of those sweets'. Use 'was in the sweet business' to denote past involvement. Suggestion: Use past tense for past situations and ensure pluralization ('sweets', 'those sweets') and correct word order.
× So after school I eat a lot of sweet that leftover from the market, so I love it.
✓ So after school I ate a lot of sweets that were left over from the market, so I loved them.
The action is in the past, so use 'ate' and 'loved'. 'A lot of sweet' should be plural 'a lot of sweets'. Passive or relative clause needs past passive 'that were left over'. Replace 'it' with 'them' to match plural 'sweets'. Suggestion: Use past tense consistently and match pronouns to plural nouns.
× No, absolutely not. I prefer to eat traditional Thai dishes because it's our staple food and it's our, uh, means food.
✓ No, absolutely not. I prefer to eat traditional Thai dishes because they are our staple food and our main food.
'Traditional Thai dishes' is plural, so use plural pronoun 'they are' not 'it's'. The phrase 'means food' is incorrect; likely intended 'main food' or 'staple food'. Suggestion: Match pronouns to plural nouns and use appropriate collocations ('main food' or 'staple food').
× And I, I don't think I don't, I need to change the food through seasoning, except fruit.
✓ And I don't think I need to change the food with different seasonings, except for fruit.
Double negative 'I don't think I don't' is incorrect and confusing; use 'I don't think I need to'. 'Change the food through seasoning' is unnatural; use 'change the food with different seasonings' or 'change the seasoning'. Also include 'except for fruit' to mark the exception. Suggestion: Avoid double negatives, simplify structure, and use natural collocations like 'change the food with seasonings'.
× When I was young, I like to eat dessert and sweet.
✓ When I was young, I liked to eat desserts and sweets.
Describing past preference requires past tense 'liked'. Use plural 'desserts and sweets' for general categories. Also avoid repeating similar words; choose one ('desserts' or 'sweets'). Suggestion: Use past tense for past habits and pluralize general nouns.
× But when I grew up I realized that dessert and sweet is not very healthy for our health and it contains a lot of sugar that made our body fat.
✓ But when I grew up I realized that desserts and sweets are not very healthy for our health and they contain a lot of sugar that makes our bodies gain fat.
'Dessert and sweet' should be plural 'desserts and sweets' and require plural verb 'are'. 'It contains' is wrong for plural subjects; use 'they contain'. The relative clause 'that made our body fat' mixes tenses and singular/plural; use present 'makes our bodies gain fat' or 'make us gain weight'. Suggestion: Ensure noun plurality matches verb agreement and use clear, natural phrases like 'make us gain weight'.
× So I start eating fruit more than dessert.
✓ So I started eating fruit more than desserts.
Describing a change that happened in the past requires past tense 'started'. Also pluralize 'desserts' when speaking generally. 'Fruit' can remain uncountable here. Suggestion: Use past tense for past changes and pluralize general countable nouns.
