Top Island (dim sum)

So I wanted to take J to Pa Pa Walk on Saturday for his first meal back from Virginia, but he wanted to go to New Capital for dim sum. We ended up compromising by my agreeing to dim sum if we ate at a new restaurant. I guess in one sense he won because all dim sum basically tastes the same. But I think we both lost because Pa Pa Walk is probably tastier than Top Island.
Standard dishes; not too great. The "fried milk" (bread with a custard center and meringue-ish top) was quite delicious though. I took two home to my sister and she agreed it was really good.
Daikon cake was really good. It made the meal for me, because everything else was fine but not great.
Scallops on tofu were pretty, but just eh. All in all, not a bad meal because every dish was $2.19, so there was no confusion about pricing. Quality was fine, the wait was not long at all, and I would go back if I happened to be in the area but I would not make a special trip there or recommend anyone else do so.
