Steamed Fish Fillet with Rice Vermicelli

My hubby brought home a feshly caught thread fin 'senangin' fish.  Instead of steaming the whole fish, I decided to prepare this dish and kept the head for steaming.

 

I have prepared this steamed noodles when I have fresh meaty fish fillets after visiting Cheah's blog  on Steamed Fish Fillet with Rice Vermicelli.   Several of my friends have also tried and like them very much.   Perhaps, I should post this dish here for my own record but do visit Cheah's blog [No Frills] for the original recipe.   BTW, she has a good collection of simple yet delicious recipes, too. It's a nutritious and healthy 1 Dish Meal for all.
