-Galley Gong Bistro closed. I never made it there, but the expat opened bistro will be missed by many readers.
-Popular eatery from Kaohsiung, Bite2Eat, opened up their first Taipei location near Nanjing E. Road. Huge space featuring affordable pasta and pizza and various bites to eat.
-A second branch of Osteria by Angie opening up soon in Dazhi
-Grand opening of new branch of Just In Bistro and Wine Bar at Neo 19, where Mac Grill used to be.
-Chili's opened up a new location on Minsheng E. Road, near L'Idiot
-Saw Doner Kebab at Vieshow Xinyi was gone. Hadn't eaten there in awhile, but will miss that option.
-Hearing that Baba Kevin BBQ will move from catering/delivery to opening a storefront restaurant location for American BBQ. Exciting!
Happy summer! Anyone else spot anything worth sharing?

hungryintaipei restaurant roundup- may 2011: dazzling openings and bittersweet closings
I was sick last week and have been busy this month so haven't spotted a ton of new openings this month. I need you guys to fill me in and feel free to email me or comment or Facebook me if you're a restaurant/chef or have food news! But here's a little bit of what I've gathered/heard...
- Eddy's Cantina in Tianmu is officially open and Eddy and Jo are coming into town from Danshui daily while their longtime staff holds down the original location. Review coming soon!
- Sweet Tooth Club closed its storefront, though the owner Ariel is still baking from home. Follow their facebook page for updates
- Couldn't believe that longtime Chinese restaurant Shanghai Fans was closed after reader Jane L. left a comment on the post, but I saw the emptied location with my own eyes. Sadface.
- A few days after I posted my revisit to Patio Thai, I drove by and also saw construction and an emptied out restaurant (bye bye koi pond). But a different Thai restaurant is set to open in the same location in June 2011. We'll see if it's the same owner/management or new owners- hopefully they'll still have good pad thai.
- Speaking of Thai food, Dazzling Cafe has opened a Dazzling Thai Cafe at Breeze Center...
- Dazzling has also opened another location of its popular honey toast dessert cafe, Dazzling Cafe- Sunshine, at Xinyi Mitsukoshi. Review and pictures coming soon, though I can say their truffle fries are tasty!
- Also recently opened is GooBer, a new American bistro/burger joint, opened by the chef who founded Oola and Fresh Greens, offering up sliders and shoestring french fries
