吃(chī) to eat
米饭 (mǐfàn) cooked rice
热狗 (rè gǒu) hot dog
面条(miàntiáo) noodles
面包(miànbāo) bread
包子 (bāozi) steamed buns
饺子 (jiǎozi) dumplings
了(le) (a dynamic particle to indicate a change of status)
饱(bǎo) full (not hungry)
我吃米饭。Wǒ chī mǐfàn. I eat rice.
我吃热狗。Wǒ chī rè gǒu. I eat hot dog.
我吃面条。Wǒ chī miàntiáo. I eat noodles.
我吃面包。Wǒ chī miànbāo. I eat bread.
我吃包子和饺子。Wǒ chī bāozi hé jiǎozi. I eat steamed buns and dumplings.
我不吃了，饱了。Wǒ bù chī le, bǎo le. I will stop eating, (I am) full.
了(le) is a dynamic particle indicating a change of status. For example, when we say 我饱了(Wǒ bǎo le) , we imply that our status just change from hungry to full. We normally say it after we have a meal. Compare it to 我很饱 ((Wǒ hěn bǎo), which means "I am very full". It does not imply how full I was before, simply saying "I am full". Normally you can use it when someone ask you to eat some food and you don't want to.

1) Ask what one wants: 你要什么？Nǐ yào shénme?=What do you want? If we have more than one option, we will say: A 还是（háishi）B? =A or B. Then the person will reply "我要(Wǒ yào) A." Or "我要(Wǒ yào) B" = I want A or B.
Of course, we can be more polite and say " 请给我(Qǐng gěi wǒ) A " or " 请给我(Qǐng gěi wǒ) B"=Please give me A or B. And add "谢谢 (Xièxie)" of course to be even more polite.
2) 好吃(hǎochī) means "good to eat', = "yummy" or "delicious" in English. If it tastes very good, we can add "真zhēn” in front of 好吃 to emphasis it.
For example:
妈妈的饼干真好吃！Māma de bǐnggān zhēn hǎochī!
