    I asked this question a while back. This was posted at the answer:
    Indian Grocery Online - Spice Store Hong Kong - Spice Store

    I purchased some dates from them (two different sets) and frankly neither were really what I needed because I was looking for eating/snacking dates (so nice, clean, no stones etc). The ones they sell would be fine for cooking with.

    I am now buying my snacking dates from a supermarket in Makati (Manila).....

    Previously PrizeMart had dates in large jars for a good price, but no longer

    Nearly every week. And the ones I get there are not super cheap but cheaper than HK.

    Not helpful, but I haven't seen good dates here, always just get mine from India when I go back. I tried spice store but like the other user said, good for cooking but not really snacking. Too small, and flavour wasn't that great.

    Whitworths Stoned Dates (PK Shop)
    (Comment: the normal ones are fine, not very yummy, but not bad. But once i brought many packs of this, and the taste of the dates have problem like contamination by chemicals or industrial oil ?? Then i never buy this product any more )

    Ingredient : dates, inverted sugar

    Goodwell Dates

    Give them a call to ask for their prices, they change daily/weekly. They sell wholesale, but will sell to consumers if you go to their office in Wong Chuk Hang and pay cash.

    i just checked out the website. Dude I love you for sharing this. Don't know how much it will cost, but for canned tomatoes it can't be more expensive then Park or Wellcome. THX!

    They got loads of nice/cheap stuff. Just remember they are a wholeseller, so don't expect them to fill your grocery list They are pretty flexible, but I recommend buying in bulk, not just one can of tomatos
