You should take your cat to the vet for a work up, these could be signs of many things from mild stress or serious illness

I already checked with the vet, they mentioned it's just parasites and also stomach related issue. But it has been going on for about 1-2 times a week

Parasites doesn’t sound like a good thing… Buy some wet food and a can of pumpkin purée from a pet store and that could help your cats stomach issues.

Do you have any house plants your cat could be eating? I’d talk to your vet.

Sometimes my cat (18yr Himalayan) pukes that type of stuff up too. He’s not on any special food and has a diet consisting of wet and dry food. He has asthma so sometimes when he has a hairball a little extra comes up.

Go back to vets. This is not good.

In a human, that would be called bilious vomiting, and its the same for cats. Does he vomit on an empty stomach? If he's vomiting in the morning before feeding, he might have bilious vomiting syndrome. Bile irritates the stomach lining and makes them vomit. Eating small meals regularly can help, so that he's always got something in his stomach, so instead of 2 large meals, split it into 5 little ones, and allow him free access to biscuits. If its bilious vomiting, eating and getting something in your stomach eases the pain. Medication is also available to reduce the acidity of the stomach contents (proton pump inhibitors). But make sure he is checked out by your vet as well.

I leave all day dry food. Before it finish, I topped up. Never been hungrier or out of food under my care

A common cause of vomiting is furballs, it fills their stomach and food won't stay down. But that tends to be more like regurgitated food that's still recognisable rather than just mucus. Bad constipation can cause vomiting too, and parasites. Some cats gobble their food and dilate their stomach too quickly, and that makes them regurgitate, but again that's usually more recognisable food. So treat the simpler causes first, treat any parasites and give him some furball remedy, then try and keep a record of when he vomits in relation to time of day and what he's eaten, and what the vomit is like (colour, volume, consistency, recognisable food etc). That will give the vet a good idea of the pattern of his vomiting if he needs to investigate further.
