one other area to consider taking a stroll through Shih Men Ding... or translated as "West Gate District". It's a short hop west of the Taipei Central Railway Station by MRT and it's full of oddball shops populated by Taipei's younger hipper denizens. There's a multi-story shopping mall filled with tiny shops full of hobby stuff including a large selection of plastic aircraft models. Quite funky, imo!
