The proof used one-variable Taylor's theorem, $g(t):=f(x+tu),t\in[0,1]$ so $g \in C^k$ then exits $c \in(0,1)$ such that
$$g(1)=g(0)+g'(0)+...+\frac{1}{(k-1)!}g^{(k-1)}(0)+\frac{1}{k!}g^{(k)}(c) \quad (2)$$
and we repalce $g^{(r)}(t)=f^{(r)}(x+tu)(u)^r,r=1,...,k$.(3)

I'm wondering whether multivariable Taylor expansion in the case $f\in C^{k-1}(D)$, $f$ is $k^{th}$-differentiable (not not necessary continuos) in D can be the same.

So I want to check with the function above.

At least not without explaining what you mean by the expressions of the form $f^{(k)}(x)$ and $(u)^{k}$. In the first case, I assume you mean "take $k$-many derivatives of $f$. However, in this case this derivative you speak of is tensor with $k$-many covariant indices. On the other hand, $x$ is a vector so you need to properly make sense of what $f^{(k)}(x)$ means. In the notation you have used it is typically meaningless. You have a similar problem in the second case since $u$ is a vector so $u^k$ is not meaningful in the usual notation. Most importantly though, you still haven't asked a question in any manner which I can understand what you are after.

Your basic error is in thinking that this is NOT in $C^1$. In polar coordinates this is $f(r, \theta)= r^2 sin(1/r)$ for r not o, $f(0,\theta)= 0$. Its derivative at r= 0 is $\lim_{r\to 0}\frac{r^2 sin(1/r)}{r}= \lim_{r\to 0} r sin(1/r)= 0$.
