The title says it all! My husband and I are visiting Manila for 36 hours with our 13 month old. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to maximize our time in Manila? Hotel recommendations for a small family? We are considering staying in Makati (Fairmont? Shangri-La Makati? Peninsula?) but are also looking at the Sofitel Hotel. What time is considered "rush hour"?
Is whole milk for the baby (not powdered) readily available in Manila? I've already posted this topic in the Japan forum and was wondering the same thing about milk in Manila.
Finally, where can we get some amazing chicken adobo?
Thank you!

Fairmont and Shangri-la is adjacent to the mall (Glorietta, Greenbelt, SM) so I think it would be the better choice for you.
Rush hour is usually 6-9am and 5pm onwards. But if you're considering the rush hour bcoz of traffic, sad to say but nowadays every hour is considered a rush hour.
About the adobo, you can try Fely J's at Greenbelt5. It's a Filipino restaurant famous for their dilis rice. Though I haven't tried their adobo since I can always have one at home. 😊
Afraid can't help much on the milk thing though.
Hope this helps!
