#Pork Ball

[buffetlicious]

Breakfast is the ever popular Bak Chor Mee or Minced Pork Noodles (肉脞面) from Chong Pang. Mum knows my preferred noodle type is mee kia (thin yellow noodles). The noodles are tossed in savoury brown sauce with chilli and came with plenty of toppings. The ingredients are a glossy braised pig’s skin, crispy sole fish, fish ball, pork ball, fishcake slices, dumpling, minced pork and crispy fried pork lards to name a few.

Braised pork ball in brown sauce

Braised pork ball in brown sauce is a famous Huaiyang dish. Mix fat and lean meat with water chestnuts, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients to make meatballs, then fry them first and then boil them.One of the famous dishes taught to his wife by the late Chinese painting master Zhang Daqian is “braised lion head”. Mr. Daqian’s method is to divide the lean meat into seven parts and the fat…

Mum said that she sometime avoided buying from this stall as the queue is just too long. That is because their Bak Chor Mee (肉脞面) or Minced Meat Noodles is so popular, as it comes with plenty of ingredients or toppings. Let’s us see what is included in this bowl of dry-style thin noodles or mee kia. At a glance, I can see pork & chive dumpling, fish dumpling, fish balls, pork balls (hidden underneath), braised pig’s skin, fishcake slices, crispy sole fish (扁魚干/大地鱼/比目鱼), crispy pork lards and minced pork. The pig’s skin is just one piece but mum topped up extra for more to be added.

Pork Pie Hat Kid

Personal Character Reference for Writing

Pork Pie Hat Kid’s personality is mainly manifested as a collection of traits making up the “weird kid” archetype; a tendency to do straightforwards tasks in unpredictable ways, consuming non-edible substances, and a partly defining speech impediment. Furthermore, his strong association with an object like winches (that does not only encompass his stand ability; think of how he also mimics the noises of metal, such as that a winch may make. “ka-chaang’, “gweeeee-gachang") could be inferred as a possible fixation, as is common for many neurodivergent people to have, and who are usually the misrepresentated subjects of such a trope.

**I should make this clear before continuing, however; my knowledge in matters relating to neurodivergent traits are very limited-- as is any deeper understanding of issues in the “weird kid” trope. As such, I’ll avoid exploring both this trope and comparisons to possible specific nuerodivergent alignments besides the singular mention above and focus solely on his character and his relevance to the themes and plot of Steel Ball Run.

Seperate from his relation to the archetype, Pork Pie Kid absolutely has defining characteristics of his own-- most noteably in his child-like appearance and motivations. He is clearly portrayed on the younger side of age-- perhaps around 15 years old –and largely acts according to it, only really straying from whats expected through the bloodlust typical of Valentine’s assassins. Some of his “childish” qualities are as follows:

Most likely in either an act of self-consciousness or an effort to conform, he hides his bald head with a make-shift solution (bamboo and stone), which furthermore suggests an unawarness in how doing so only makes him stand out more

He’s much more prone to swearing then many of the other assassins, which may be expected of a kid/young teen whose suddenly got a lot of new power

He lacks a great understanding of his emotions– specifically, why he might be having fun fighting. This also implies a lack of experience, possibly due to age

Lastly, in regards to his character, are his motivations for working under Presidenet Valentine; a want for recgonition:

When this motivation is revealed, it’s shown to be so intrinsic as to even deny temptation into corruption after gaining access to the corpse hand, which was a feat not even the devoted Blackmore could accomplish so effortlessly. On the contrary, Pork Pie Kid ecstatically focuses in on the exaggerated rewards people will give to him; how admirable others will find him to be now. He doesn't have a solid grasp on *why* he fought, and only acts out of an idealization for the rewards he'll get. Of course, the rewards that are promised play a part in plenty of the assassin's motivations, but none are so disconnected from reward and the fight as Pork Pie Kid is. He just doesn't have a philosophy like the others do; he only has the desire to be recognized.

It is also with this understanding that previously mentioned aspects of his become framed in a different light; hiding his lack of hair, a lack of emotional understanding, and a lack of knowledge concerning the situation he’s become a part of (ie, not grasping what the corpse he’s been sent after truly represents) are all reflections of neglect.

His motivation is also what makes his character all the more tragic; he is incapable of conforming, as apperant in his deviation from normalcy in the most basic actions, for it’s simply not in his personality to do otherwise. Regrettably, vying for attention and acceptance through “usefullness” so that others may put in the effort to, at the very least, tolerate his behavior might’ve truly been his only course. However he got himself aligned with the people he did, it’s unlikely he had anyone to look out or care for him regardless of proved use.

He is a character marked by childhood and the desires thereof. He is, in maybe it’s most intense manifestation, a child in need of validation.
