I’m a big fan of the blog Burnt Lumpia and as a fellow Fil-Am, I’m so happy to see that his Manila Machine is doing such great things for the promotion of Filipino food! I was drooling at my screen when I first read his menu. YUMMY! Unfortunately, the Manila Machine is based in SoCal. I’m out in the NorCal Delta so as much as I’d love to support the Manila Machine, I can’t go down and get his food for myself!
Unable to keep myself from wanting to try an adobo slider, I decided to make one for myself. If you’re down in LA, by all means, go down and stalk the Manila Machine and get the real one straight from the source! But if you’re feenin’ for some and can’t get to LA, here’s my version.

Homemade adobo slider
I took a toasted pan de sal roll — baked fresh daily by the Bulacan Bakery in Pittsburg, CA — and topped it off with some shredded adobo (made from my usual adobo recipe) and carmelized onions. I also added a half slice of grilled pineapple. DELICIOUS!!
