I'm just looking for a word by which one can explain the moment / feeling / act of closing your eyes and chewing your food slowly with taking enjoying every part of your food.

I'm looking for a noun, but any word adjective/adverb that can replace this long sentence is fine.

You're looking specifically for a noun. Consider using the gerund form of the verb savour: savouring.

Alternately, as you also admit phrases, consider Mari-Lou's delicious suggestion: savour every bite.

savour verb with object Taste (good food or drink) and enjoy it completely. ‘gourmets will want to savor our game specialties’ - ODO

    I'm upvoting but I think you should also add "savour every bite" It's three words but replaces that long sentence quite well. – Mari-Lou A Apr 6 '18 at 7:58
  • @Mari-LouA Mmm, buon appetito. – Lawrence Apr 6 '18 at 8:04
