Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar turned chef on New Year's Eve to cook a delicious meal for his friends. Tendulkar, a self-confessed foodie, posed a video on his Facebook page where he was seen barbecuing on a barbecue grill while struggling with the heat it emitted.

But the Master Blaster already gave his verdict saying that it smells delicious and it will get better with time. Tendulkar also wished everyone a happy new year. And he added that his friends are still licking the fingers: "It was a pleasure to cook for my friends on New Year's Eve. I am glad all of them enjoyed and are still licking their fingers. Hope you all had a great New Year's Eve as well. Wishing you all a fantastic 2018. Stay blessed always."

Sachin's first experience with Chinese cuisine ended in disappointment and he had to return home thirsty and hungry. Tendulkar was a great lover of his mother's cooking and it was not till he was nine-years-old that he first tried Chinese food. In the early 1980s, Chinese cuisine was becoming popular in Mumbai and having heard so much about it, his colony friends made a plan to go out for a meal together. "We each contributed 10 rupees, which was a lot of money for me at that time and I was excited about trying something new," says Tendulkar.

That evening, however, turned out to be disappointing as he paid the price for being one of the youngest in the group. "In the restaurant we ordered chicken and sweet corn soup as a starter. We were sitting at a long table and by the time the soup travelled to me at the far end, there was hardly any left. The older members of the group had finished off most of it, leaving very little for us younger ones," Sachin Tendulkar sharing his memory
