Because generally people don't go out of their way to go to Shida imo anyway. At least not people I know. I personally enjoy Raohe night market much more but that's generally not known as well.
Indeed, people here go out to eat rather than cook, so don't be afraid if you have no food in your place. (plus 7-11 is open 24 hours)
Ah, I forgot about Taipei 101. The shopping mall complex there are pretty much for shopping; I think there are like 5 malls in there. The Taipei 101 itself isn't bad if you like going up skyscrapers to see the views (I do), so give it a go if you want.
Also go ahead to Danshui to catch the sunset. Beautiful sunset over there, and although a tourist place not as bad as Shilin is.
There is also a lot of nightlife around Zhongxiao Fuxing if you're interested. I personally don't go to clubs and everything so I haven't been there. Pretty expensive area (like Taipei 101).
