Using 好吃
好 is “good” and 吃 is “to eat” — 好吃 is literally “good to eat”, the everyday word for delicious. Kids deliver their first reviews with it: 这个好吃！(“this is yummy!”), asked back as 好吃吗？(“is it good?”). For drinks, the parallel word is 好喝 (hǎo hē, “good to drink”).
The phrase is identical in Traditional Chinese. Stronger praise for a memorable meal: 太好吃了 (“so good!”) with 太…了 (“too/so”). Writing practice bonus: 好 and 吃 are both low-stroke, high-frequency characters — an ideal first phrase sheet for a five-year-old.
