Sri Lanka has its wonderful 'short eats' as well - little rotis drowned in pepper, wadi, meat buns, breaded samosas...

Where I work in London, there's a nearby market that has yet to be hipsterified, and has a great selection of subcontinental and Chinese snacks (some of the tastiest dumplings I've had). But then just up the road, there's one that has been - but does manage to sport some interesting stuff (obscure South American snacks seem to be the order of the day...)
