Ok now i want to allow admin to create a combo meal from this meal table
So that mean, a combo meal can have unlimited number amout of meal

Currently im puzzle how to store/link combo meal to the meal I donw want to store something lke below

+------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
|  id  |  combo_name  | serving   |  meal_id  |
+------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
|  1   |   combo1     |  2 person |   1,4,7,9 |
+------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
|  2   |   combo2     |  2 person |   2,5,8   |
+------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
|  4   |   combo3     |  2 person |   3,5,6,9 |
+------+--------------+-----------+-----------+

Look at the meal_id column, i dont think that is a good way to store a data

Answer 1

Create a many-to-many link table:

combo_id    meal_id
1           1
1           4
1           7
1           9
2           2
2           5
2           8
3           3
3           5
3           6
3           9

To select all meals for a given combo:

SELECT  m.*
FROM    combo_meal cm
JOIN    meal m
ON      m.id = cm.meal_id
WHERE   cm.combo_id = 1
