Tired eating bread with jam and butter, why not stuff with sweet and spicy sardine. Perfect menu for breakfast or dinner. I remember during my school days, first time i learned to do Sardine Sandwich in my KH class.  Good old memories... Now i can prepare delicious sandwich with my own recipe.  I cannot eat sardine without cooking it first. That's why i must cook first with spicy chili powder to avoid the fish smell.
