Celebrate Chinese New Year at Four Seasons Bahrain Bay

Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay is all set to offer its customers a rare dining experience to mark the beginning of the Chinese New Year.
Re Asian Cuisine by Wolfgang Puck will ring in the Year of the Rooster on Jan. 27 with a one-night-only dining experience that will include an array of festive dishes.
Re Asian Cuisine’s “Night Market” will be enhanced with live-cooking stations creating an authentic live market atmosphere both in the restaurant and in the adjacent Blue Moon Lounge by Wolfgang Puck.
Executive Chef Brian Becher has created a special menu that begins with chicken and wagyu beef soup dumplings, followed by the roasted whole duckling served with bao buns. The forever favorite lo mai yurn, sticky rice with local lamb and tangerine puree, will perfectly prepare the palates for “The Five Blessings” representing the five blessings of the New Year — longevity, riches, peace, wisdom and virtue — including wagyu beef potstickers, black tiger prawn har gow, shrimp XO dumplings, beef and prawn chiu chow and vegetable dumplings.
The several live-action stations will also showcase delicacies such as the aromatic roasted duckling, Chinese New Year dumplings, crispy lamb belly and longevity noodles among other festive dishes.
To put a sweet ending to the Chinese Night Market event, Pastry Chef Pierre Chambon will prepare tempting Chinese rolled ice-cream in green tea, chocolate and litchi flavors along with his sweet fruit dumplings filled with pear, tangerine and toasted sesame.
From Jan. 27 to Feb. 8, the restaurant will offer special five-or seven-course menus that include a generous dim sum plate with chiu chow, dan dan and XO shrimp dumplings, wagyu beef pot stickers, Hong Kong-style black bass served with shitake mushrooms, filet of beef “Sichuan Au Poivre” with wok fried green beans on the side and a dessert duo to mention a few of the carefully crafted menus.
In addition guests will be offered an epicurean journey every first Tuesday of the month to experience the authentic world of the Asian street food culture spiced with world-renowned restaurateur Wolfgang Puck’s modern take on traditional Asian cuisine.

ITC Infotech accelerates Vision 2030 through digital hub in Riyadh

ITC Infotech’s commitment to delivering real digital change in the Middle East is reinforced by strengthening collaboration and working more closely with customers on the ground. The establishment of its Digital and AI Engineering Hub in Riyadh brings superior digital engineering and AI skills closer to businesses, allowing for speedier collaboration, localized innovation, and solutions targeted to regional needs. This strategic expansion aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and underscores ITC Infotech’s long-standing emphasis on partnership-led growth and customer-centric innovation.

The hub was officially inaugurated on Jan. 15 by Sanjiv Puri, chairman and managing director of ITC Ltd. This facility is designed to help enterprises leverage advanced technologies and convert digital ambitions into measurable business outcomes. This move aligns closely with Saudi Arabia’s efforts to build a knowledge-driven economy powered by innovation and technology.

Saudi Arabia’s digital leap

Vision 2030 is more than just economic diversification; it is a clear blueprint for creating a technologically advanced society. This vision is centered on the integration of artificial intelligence and digital engineering, which are transforming industries and enabling long-term, sustainable growth. The strategic importance of AI is clear, with the Saudi Data and AI Authority estimating that it may add $135 billion to the Kingdom’s GDP by 2030. This commitment is supported by significant investments, including $14.9 billion announced at LEAP 2025 to advance digital infrastructure, talent, and next-generation technologies, as well as historic projects like the $2.7 billion Hexagon Data Center in Riyadh. Together, these efforts are laying the foundation for a secure, resilient, and future-ready digital ecosystem that can support AI adoption, data-driven governance, and smart city development at scale.

What the hub offers

ITC Infotech’s Riyadh hub is designed to fuel this momentum by focusing on three core areas:

  • AI-powered platforms: Delivering predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and data-driven insights to help businesses transition from reactive operations to proactive strategies.
  • Digital engineering solutions: Leveraging Industry 4.0-driven smart manufacturing capabilities, integrating AI-led modeling, connected systems, and advanced analytics to optimize production performance, improve asset utilization, and proactively reduce operational and quality risks across the engineering lifecycle.
  • Cloud-native architectures: Building agile, secure, and resilient ecosystems that enable faster innovation and seamless integration across enterprise systems.

These capabilities are designed to enable organizations to innovate, scale, and compete in a rapidly evolving digital economy. Beyond technology, the hub is fundamentally anchored in building a team of the region, from the region, for the region and for global impact. Through structured skill-building programs, deep partnerships with academia, systematic knowledge transfer, and immersive, hands-on delivery models, the hub is creating a future-ready Saudi workforce fully aligned with Vision 2030 and capable of serving both national and international priorities.

Driving enterprise transformation 

The ITC Infotech hub aims to enable transformation rather than simply deploy technology. By driving AI adoption, accelerating digital engineering, and building cloud-native ecosystems, ITC Infotech seeks to help businesses:

  • develop new business models to meet evolving market needs.
  • improve operational efficiency through predictive insights and automation.
  • support sustainability goals by optimizing resources and reducing risks.
  • build a skilled local workforce capable of leading future innovations.

These outcomes support enterprises as they transition to more resilient, data-driven, and digitally mature operating models.

The road ahead

ITC Infotech is a wholly owned subsidiary of ITC Limited, one of India’s largest conglomerates, with over 25 years of experience as a trusted technology services partner to enterprises globally. The company focuses on next-generation enterprise transformation, delivering services across infrastructure and application modernization, cloud, cybersecurity, digital engineering, and AI-led innovation.

As Saudi Arabia continues its digital journey, ITC Infotech’s combination of global expertise, strong local presence, and collaborative delivery model positions it as a long-term partner in advancing Vision 2030. ITC Infotech’s hub in Riyadh reflects this commitment, bringing advanced capabilities closer to customers, investing in local talent, and enabling enterprises to adopt AI at scale as they compete in an increasingly digital world.
