Maji Maji Square
In my search for something to do on a Sunday that was not a tourist trap, I found out about Maji Maji Square from Taipei Times and The Thousandth Girl.
It's kind of on the periphery of Taipei, but I'm so glad we came out here to spend a day relaxing and hanging out. There's a bunch of food stalls, cute shops, full on restaurants, and general fun times to be had here.
The location is at the Taipei Expo Park (this is the other side). There's something like a farmer's market between this entrance and Maji Maji Square.
Map of Maji Maji Square - there are some full scale restaurants, but we didn't go to them
Good Cho - a super popular bagel shop!
Bagels
We decided to order a little sundae
With some bagel "rusk". It was not as delicious as anticipated, but we still ate it.
Quick coffee break in Maji Food and Deli (kind of a Dean and Deluca type shop)
Places to leash your dog - what a cute idea!
Fast Food Court Area

Lots of food stall options for lunch!
hard to choose!
I took pictures of each one, since I wasn't able to find this information online beforehand. I also try to identify the stall... I wasn't able to for a few, so please comment if you know!
Dou hua (soft sweet tofu)
Traditional Taiwanese desserts
Japanese food stall - wasn't sure what kind of Japanese food, but they sold Asahi for 70 NT
Stinky tofu stall
Coffee and tea stall
Korean
I *think* a vermicelli soup shop?
Braised Pork Rice (Lu Rou Fan) stall
Noodles stall
Wonton stall
Takoyaki stall
Mexican stall
Vietnamese stall
Thai stall
Not sure what of stall this was
Indian stall
American stall
Fish and chips stall
California stall
South American stall
Soft serve and popcorn
Snack time!
Here's what we grabbed for brunch (I guess the sundae was breakfast...). Portion sizes were not too big, so if you wanted to, you could try a lot of things here! Everything is pretty cheap too. Seems very clean and orderly, I would recommend checking this place out if crowds are not your thing! The stalls open at 10am, but the shops don't open until around noon, typically.
Wonton menu
We ordered a small bowl of shrimp wonton. The guy spoke English which made things easier.
The wontons. Pretty nice and shrimpy, but wish we ordered a second bowl :D
and also some stinky tofu
Stinky tofu - it was ok. I was hoping it would be stinkier and tastier. Maybe I didn't get a great plate.
Caramel milk tea
Not bad - a bit too sweet, but otherwise tasty
Cute ice cream shop
The strange flavours available!
We ordered one of the green tea ice creams and the mulberry froyo. Both pretty nice.
Walking around a bit
So many cute things
Every shop had cute things
Squee!
Adorable earrings
I almost bought a pair...
It was really hot, as evidenced by this extremely hot tea girl.
Time for a quick vending machine refreshment!
So long, Maji Maji Square!
Beautiful post
