Thanks for posting this! I wouldn't have seen it otherwise, and it was really neat for me to watch together with my wife.
The video is at the Shang Palace location in Paris, but my wife and I ate at the one in Hong Kong around 10 years ago (which also has a Michelin star). Her aunt took us there, and even though we had multiple dishes, the only one either of us truly remember is the fried rice. Like Alex says in the video, it was on a completely different level from "typical" fried rice, to the point that you can barely compare them. It was the last dish that came, and we both ended up way too full from trying to eat a bunch of it even though we were already full. It was unbelievably good, and we still mention it all the time.
That's the only Michelin star restaurant we've ever eaten at, so it's a bit funny that when high-end dining or starred restaurants come up, the only experience I can talk about is the fried rice that I had at dim sum. That's definitely not the kind of thing most people expect. But it was just that good, so it was great to see Alex's excitement about it, the video did a great job of conveying the quality.
I'm looking forward to seeing his next videos now, I think he's definitely going to have a hard time living up to this example of fried rice.
To be fair, the Michelin Guide still doesn't operate here in Canada, AFAIK... which makes it a bit harder for us Canadians to eat at any restaurants they have given stars to. ;)

This is a follow up series to his last one which focused on Mother Sauces. Wikipedia, if you're interested in diving further.
I'm super excited about this series as I make different types of fried rice multiple times per month and any way I can see to improve what I'm making is always a good time. Does anyone else here make it a different way? Are you a fried rice connoisseur, do you have additional things you like to do? Let me hear about it!

ETTV style of videos when it comes to cooking : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GZtaIyCtgU (comparing the two made me realize how good a job he does with the audio and capturing everything on frame).
