The other WHITE Chocolate
This kickboxing hero from Thailand has a disability. A Japanese mobster and his Thai partner and girlfriend, Zin , narrowly escape death at the hands of underworld boss Number 8 and his bodyguard Priscilla, but the scuffle has unexpected consequences -- Masashi's superiors order him to return to Japan, and Zin finds she's pregnant with his child. Zin raises their daughter, Zen on her own and discovers she's autistic; one of the few things that helps bring Zen out of her inner world is chocolate (could be her type of comfort zone), and in time the girl develops a remarkable skill in the martial arts just by watching the movies on the television. When Zin is diagnosed with cancer, the family cannot afford the the treatment that could save her life until her friend Moom comes up with a plan -- plenty of people still owe Zin money from her days as an outlaw, and with Zen as a candy-fueled enforcer, he might be able to get them to pay up and raise the funds for Zin's medical bills. Maybe the shows she watched on tv along with eating the chocolate she ate mentally made her think that kicking the hell out of people was her way of being respected or accepted?

i think she justs wants to be like the normal kids that she sees outside practicing kick boxing.
the thought of the chocolates being like a gateway drug which helps her focus, is pretty cool.
I think when she say the kids kick boxing it made them all the same, and if she knew kick boxing then she would be the same. while the chocolates somehow made her feel safe just like kick boxing
i think the kickboxing does symbolize her long to be accepted into society and being a normal child and the chocolate is a litle strange to look at it as an escaping drug for her but i know that chocolate has different reactions for different people so maybe in her condition the chocolate was like a drug weather it was the rush from the taste and suggar or what it was
