Fish fillets Mee Hoon soup (rice vermicelli noodle soup) 鱼肉米粉

I like to eat the famous Seremban‘s Fish Head Mee Hoon soup, as the soup is spicy (the spiciness came from liberal use of pepper) and little creamy by adding evaporated milk, which I couldn’t find in any other type of noodles soup. I tried to cook this noodle soup recently but replaced fish head (not my kid’s favorite) with fish fillets instead.
