"Maltese and tourists alike can't resist date cakes. You cannot find them elsewhere accept in Malta.
From my kiosk in Valletta I ended up here in Hamrun. When we were in Valletta people used to habitually stop on their way in and even more so on their way out to buy a couple of date cakes to take home to eat with their coffee. Some prefer to buy frozen ones to bake at home instead of deep fry. I love sweets and sometimes can't help giving in to eating a couple."
