That last one, crazy kitten, ingredient list looks the best to me. The Farmina might be slightly better then the one you are feeding. Otherwise, the one you are feeding is a decent option.

also reason i am looking for good food is sometimes his stools are like umm 70 percent well formed and last 30 percent is like soft formed not totally watery but soft like cow dung....but if i give it a break like feed him after 5 to 7 hours then his next stool is very well formed i think i might just be feeding him too much since he finished his 1.5kg dry food bag in around 15 to 17 days

Hi!
what a lovely kitten - clear eyes and clean nose, he looks good in the photo!
Kittens need to eat a lot in order to provide fuel for all the growth that's going on :)
Can you give him a little boiled unseasoned chicken? and some cooked egg now and then?
I'm not a vet, but do you have access to plain pumpkin? The fiber could help a little with his stool.

He looks like an adorable little flame point and pretty healthy (alert clear eyes, body posture is attentive, ears look clean).

Kittens do eat a lot of food. An adult cat only needs 20-30 calories per pound, a growing kitten could eat up to 200 calories at their peak growth.

For the egg, I would say try a few tablespoons every two or three days or so.
You can experiment if you wanted to, --you can give some raw yolk, but the white needs to be cooked, so some people cook the white and add in the raw yolk to make a sloppy slurry.

Try a teaspoon of pumpkin (you can divide the pumpkin into ice trays or something like that, to freeze it so it will last longer).

You could also try goat milk.
