Mum's Signature Steamed Fish Head with brand's

Steamed fish? Mmmm, I am not a fan of steamed fish because I hate the smell. It makes me feel like no appetite. But why am I sharing steamed fish head today pulak? Once my mum cooked this steamed fish head and I tasted it, I was shocked and the taste really gave me a remarkable satisfaction. How delicious it is. So I get mum's recipe and found out this is not just a normal steamed fish. How complicated it is when I found out about the steps of preparing it. But all this hard work is really worth it.

When I was told to steam the fish for 5 mins, I was shocked! What? 5 mins? Can cook meh? Then I was told to just warm up the brand's in a pot of hot water until ready to be use. I was, what?.... This was my first expression when told to do it out of my expectation!... But it really works!
