We were bringing the kids to Codona's Amusement Park, down by the beach. It was a cold and windy morning and we quickly selected a restaurant to seek refuge at. Among all the restaurants by the beach front, we picked The Pier Bistro since it was quite busy, had an interesting menu, and looked rather inviting inside (modern-looking and cosy).
Aberdeen Beach - if you get a seat by the window, this is the view you would be dining to
On a cold day, a hot chocolate is most welcomed and we just couldn't get enough of the Ultimate Hot Chocolate here (£2.95). The rich chocolate was topped with lots and lots of fresh whipped cream and marshmallows and it was so good - we made something similar for our nieces when we had a sleepover that weekend. :)
We enjoyed the butternut squash and sun dried tomato risotto served with a poached egg (£8.95). Slightly different from the risottos we're accustomed to, I like the tanginess from sun dried tomato - very appetizing. The texture of the risotto was rich and creamy too. The poached egg is also nicely cooked.
Soup of the day is chunky country vegetable soup (£3.95), served with warm bread. Quite a light soup, this was tummy warming and reminded me of the soups I used to make to take to work during the cold winter days.
Lots of chunky vegetables inside
We ordered a Burger & Chips (£3.30) from kids menu, for the kids. They also got a Whippy ice cream (£1.60) each - what a lovely treat! The good thing about eating ice cream in the cold weather is that it doesn't melt so quickly ;)

I love watching him eat ice cream! :D
