The following map will be useful for finding most stores in Zhongxiao (east):
Note that BAPE has moved to a bigger space on Ren-Ai Road, and that the Faith location in Zhongxiao has closed down.
Lastly, there are a few outlet stores in Taipei. Many of them are in Neihu, near Costco. Nightmarkets have been left out deliberately, because of the prevalence of fakes.

Gyoza shops are good if you see any around.
@ Shilin area.. they have bar-kut-teh also.. but more herbal type... if you take train hor.. you stop 1 stop before ShiLin MRT station... then right in front there is a consolidation of food malls.

Zhong Xiao Dong Lu (忠孝东路)
Zhong hsiao dong lu is the entire stretch like orchard road. Lots of high class shopping and departmental stores. Alot of independent labels too. It stretches from from 3 MRTs stops zhong hsiao dun hua to zhong hsiao fuxing. Fushing and Dunhwa is linked with an Underground Mall.
Taipei Main Station
The other underground malls are at the Taipei Main Station. The Front Station mall is shorter and the other is at the Rear, known as Taipei Metro Mall. This is long. Both are good places to pick up bargains - shoes at NT200/ Undies/Socks from NT30 up, Hats/Caps/Umbrellas/Tshirts from NT100/- Fung Hsui stuff (neat stuff to giveaway From NT10 ~NT50) When you get tired of walking, there are places there to eat or have a cuppa. 新光三越 also in Taipei Main Station.
Hsinyi District
Taipei 101 shopping centers: New York, New York, 新光三越 n Warner Village. High class shopping area.
WuFenPu (五分埔) - HouShanPi MRT (wholesale clothes market)
After Singkong Mitsukoshi in Xinyi, Cross the road to Warner Village Bus Stop and take Bus 611 or 284 to Wufenpu about 7 mins away. You don’t have to go to MRT (waste of time and a long walk). Wufenpu is good on weekends avoid going on a Monday. This is a wholesale shopping haven for the ladies.
Guanghua Market
IT Market. Baide Road (八德) - next to ZhongXiao XinSheng Station
Old one tear down. New location. MRT Stop Zhongxiao Xinsheng > Exit 4 > Turn right, walk to second junction , turn left , walk 2 mins to new location.
IMO, the NOVA building booest recommended is more like Funan IT mall to me. Guanghua Market is the SLS. It is an entire street. I din have the chance to go there.
Miramar Entertainment Park (Ferris Wheel)
http://www.miramar.com.tw/main.php
Famous for the ferris wheel on top of a shoppng centre

If you are on the MRT, then you can take it to Shipai. Then walk out of Station, left side to traffic light, turn left to bus stop. Take Bus 224 to the end (Sec 7), last stop. You will see all the shops when you walk down Section 7 on the left side of the road. Lots of shops also on TianMu West Rd as well (Not Factory outlets) Junction of TianMu West Rd and TianMu N. Rd. Great place to eat local food, worth a visit. (You will see them frying the NiuRo Shien Pin, Chung Pin e.t.c.)
