Answer

You should declare the array outside the click handler function. Also , you probably want to store the label attribute of the selected option. Join the array items with , before showing in the element:

var data = {
    Food: [
        {
            id: 1,
            name: 'Fried Rice',
            price: '10.000'
        },
        {
            id: 2,
            name: 'Fried Noodle',
            price: '9.000'
        },
        {
            id: 3,
            name: 'Pancake',
            price: '8.500'
        },
        {
            id: 4,
            name: 'French Fries',
            price: '7.500'
        }
    ],
    Drink: [
        {
            id: 1,
            name: 'Cola',
            price: '4.600'
        },
        {
            id: 2,
            name: 'Orange Juice',
            price: '5.400'
        },
        {
            id: 3,
            name: 'Mineral Water',
            price: '3.500'
        },
        {
            id: 4,
            name: 'Coffee',
            price: '5.800'
        }
    ]
}

function handleChange() {
    var x = document.getElementById("category_select").value;

    var dataOptions = data[x]
    var dataSelect = document.getElementById('type_select')
    dataSelect.innerHTML = ''

    dataOptions.forEach(function (option) {
        var optionEle = document.createElement('option')
        optionEle.value = option.id
        optionEle.label = option.name

        dataSelect.appendChild(optionEle)
    })

}
handleChange()

$(document).ready(function () {
    var selectMenu = [];
    $("button").click(function () {
        selectMenu.push($("#type_select option:selected").attr('label'));
        $(".result").html(selectMenu.join(', '));
    });
});
