× My favorite food is chicken adobo here in the Philippines. I like the taste this how savory the chicken is, especially if you marinated it. Uh, especially the thigh part with the if you put it with the cheesy melting cheesy and with pineapple on top. It's so sweet and it really plays.
✓ My favorite food here in the Philippines is chicken adobo. I like the taste because of how savory the chicken is, especially if you marinate it. I especially like the thigh, especially when you add melted cheese and pineapple on top. It's so sweet and really tasty.
Issues: awkward word order and repeated words ('this how', 'melting cheesy'), unclear phrasing ('it really plays'). Suggestion: reorder phrases for natural English (place location after subject), use 'because of how' to link reason, use base form 'marinate' for general statements, use 'melted cheese' for correct adjective-noun form, replace vague 'it really plays' with clear adjective 'really tasty'. Use consistent present simple for general preferences.
× When I was young, I like the fried rice. It's because it is so tasty with lots of ingredients but not too oily because there are other versions of fried rice which is so oily so I like.
✓ When I was young, I liked fried rice. It was because it was so tasty with lots of ingredients but not too oily, because there are other versions of fried rice that are very oily.
Issue: tense inconsistency. The clause 'When I was young' sets past time, so verbs should be past ('liked', 'was'). Keep present simple only for general truths. Also replace 'which is so oily' with 'that are very oily' to match plural 'versions' and use more natural wording. Add commas to improve clarity.
× Sometimes I do not eat different foods at different times of the year. It's because I'm a picky eater, so therefore I usually just pick what I like, the food that I like.
✓ Sometimes I do not eat different foods at different times of the year because I am a picky eater, so I usually just choose the foods that I like.
Issue: redundancy and awkward phrasing. Use present simple for habitual actions ('do not eat', 'am', 'usually choose'). Remove redundant 'so therefore' and duplicate phrases 'what I like, the food that I like'. Use 'choose' instead of 'pick' if more natural, and plural 'foods' to match general preference.
× Yes, it was, It was changed. It's because first I am growing and I discovered a lot of different kinds of foods. So therefore.
✓ Yes, it changed. That's because as I grew up I discovered many different kinds of food.
Issues: incorrect passive/auxiliary use ('It was changed' is unnatural), tense inconsistency ('I am growing' vs past context). Use simple past 'changed' for a change that occurred. Use 'as I grew up' for past continuous development and 'discovered' in past. Remove fragment 'So therefore.' and combine ideas into one clear sentence.
