You won't find any love birds or parrots sold in this store for it isn't an aviary or a pet shop.
The Iloilo Bird House is one of the original Ilonggo snack shops that survived the test and taste of time.
Opened on July 15, 1971, it still retains that simple homey atmosphere that eating becomes a leisure activity - no need to rush just enjoy every bite as you watch the hustle and bustle of Iloilo City through the glass walls.

Located at the St. Elizabeth building along Valeria Street, the snack shop is a good place to take a rest while enjoying desserts, sandiwches, pizzas and other short orders like pancit Malabon or pancit Molo.
Their pizzas are thin and crisp ever since and even before pizza chains began offering their own. And they have many flavors to choose from that you may have a hard time choosing.
What makes the Iloilo Bird House pizza unique is the crust are almost like spring roll wrappers - thin, that one is simply not enough.
Another savory offering is the Flying Saucer which certainly brings back gastronomic memories of yesteryears.
It is a pork adobo filled sandwich that is pressed to look like a literal flying saucer and toasted to a delicious crisp.

But you might have noticed that desserts was mentioned first for it actually started as one or more popular as a dessert stop.
And there's no shortage of sweets displayed when you visit the snack shop.
The Iloilo Bird House is popular with their delicious but no frills dessert and they are simply presented and are very affordable.

Among the most popular are the butter chiffon (below) , chocolate beehives, lemon squares, silvanas and choco mallows.
They are also have apple crumble pies which got me addicted that time that I attempted to bake apple pies at home for three straight days-lol.
The beehives sit on a chocolate cake base then topped with soft meringue then smothered with chocolate sauce.

But my favorite is the buttered chiffon, just a very simple chiffon cake with a more generous butter topping and sugar.
It's a sort of comfort food for me that it's always part of my order.
And speaking of orders I usually have a minimum of three since most items are cheap so usually, it's my eyes that "eat" first when I look at their menu or their dessert display.

Besides, DIET is not within the vocabulary of the Iloilo Bird House so who am I to add it. So I just eat and eat.
