Hi,
Well if you have a 2 year old, I wouldn't recommend going anywhere without a snack and a drink for the child. Imagine if your car breaks down, there's heavy traffic or he/she doesn't like the food at your destination!
Barry Island has a lovely selection of beach items for kids - balls, bucket and spade, windmills etc - so you don't need to worry about packing anything like this.
The food at Barry Island is pretty much fish & chips, burgers,pizza - greasy stuff. If you want something healthier, pack a picnic.
You'll need sunscreen - I got burnt there last month!!
The beach is lovely and sandy, so bring a blanket. But the sea isn't that inviting, so if your child wants to paddle, make sure he/she doesn't get the water near the face. Bring some hand sanitizer to use on everyone's hands before eating or after going in the sea also.
There are lots of halal places to eat in Cardiff - especially on City Road. But I have never heard of halal Chinese. Cardiff Bay has loads of places to eat and is worth a visit anyway.
Have a good time!

Please do not forget to bring your mobile. You will need it in times of emergency. This is one thing that I will not forget to bring along.
Enjoy your weekend.
