Burger Malaysia [Most spicy burger]

It is known as burger Malaysia to me, is there another name? It is fried bread (or doughnut) sandwiched with anchovies sambal and a slice of cucumber. It can be breakfast or snack for teas. T requested for it a few days ago, he loves things cooked with sambal for breakfast these days especially RM1 nasi lemak. In my area, RM1 nasi lemak comes with a small piece of fried fish (or anchovies), thin wedge of hard-boiled egg and sambal. The serving size is just nice for a small eater like T.

Back to Burger Malaysia, those selling outside is usually comes with little filling, I made mine with heaps of anchovies. I have plenty supply of dried anchovies in the pantry now, bought 500gm from my hometown early this month thinking of using it in cooking porridge for John. My hometown is near to sea, lots of cheap and fresh seafood.
