I suggest ‘ngo5 dei6 yiu3 (heui3) waan2 ye5 sik6 la3’.

‘goi1’ (should) is too formal for this sentence. Better use the more colloquial ‘yiu3’.
‘waan2’ conveys the sense of “get”. So ‘waan2 ye5 sik6’ means “get sth to eat”.
‘sik6 ha5’ when used together would mean “eat for a while” or “eat a little”, depending on context. Better leave out this delimitative marker ‘ha5’ for this simple sentence.
Do you mean 搵 wan2 or waan2?
