Total number of delegates including non-golfers was 160, comprised of 25 different nationalities and coming from 20 different country-bases.

Not only do the players await for the top prizes but for the special prizes as well, which include the Champagne Taittinger Trophy, LGT Trophy, Rookie of the Year, Thailand Chefs Folfers Trophy, The Bali Chefs Golfers Trophy, The Cathay Pacific Award, The Flying Fijian Award, and The Luftansa and Swiss Airline Award.

At the end of the day, all the sweats were paid off by at an after-party treat at the Le Souffle Fort Restaurant where a very unique Filipino-inspired four-course dinner was especially created for SEAC by 4 of the well-respected new-generation Filipino Chefs.

The culmination and Awarding Ceremonies were held at the Mandarin Ballroom. Excitement filled the place as the players were honored with their triumph to win the competition proving that their talents are not limited in the kitchen.

Until the next SEAC in 2008, where cheers and fun await.
