Hiroshima Oysters ($1)
These oysters were served with ponzu sauce (Japanese citrus sauce) and momoji-oroshi (grated daikon radish with chili oil) and spring onions at the side.
As my friend and I had just consumed freshly shuckled oysters from The Dancing Crab @ Turf City the night before ($3), these oysters tasted noticeably less fresh, were much smaller in size and were sour and less juicy. While the sourness may have been due to the ponzu sauce, it did not do justice to the oysters and we would have preferred the oysters without the sauce. Also, though the oysters were served on a bed of ice, they were barely cold when we had them which made it even less enjoyable to eat.
Taste: 4/10
Am really glad to have found this gem where they offer $1 oysters daily. Oysters are not cheap in SG, and Teru's oysters are fresh and juicy, served on a bed of ice, very delicious and refreshing! Will definitely come back for more.
Sad to learn that the oysters ($1++ each, no minimum order) aren't as nice as before. A friend who is picky about food didn't finish the last of 3 oysters he ordered - this was after he spat the 2nd one out onto his plate.
Nobody had a stomachache or diarrhoea after lunch, but it just wasn't a very pleasant-tasting experience, overall. Shame.

Bring me back to the days of stuffing my face with my favorite foods like $1 oysters and shiok soba noodles.
Do not - we repeat - do not come to Teru Sushi with your friends not expecting a wait. But it won’t be hard to convince your friends that it’s worth it — the affordably priced, plump and juicy Oysters ($1.50) are enough assurance. Alternatively, find a day where you and your friends end work early and head straight to Teru at Tiong Bahru (they open at 6pm) to snag a table. Start the meal with some melt-in-your-mouth Sashimi slices ($12) before moving on to the oysters. For some carbs, go for the Shiok Maki ($20). It is an Unagi sushi roll blanketed with mayo, before being torched for a nice smoky finish. As for heartier eats, know that the menu is full of classed up versions of Japanese classics everyone will love. To put it simply, this is a group dinner slam-dunk.
