Zheng Chelsea, 4 Sydney Street, London SW3.
On the outside wall is the sign 'Zheng Restaurant'. On its website, Zheng affects 'Zheng Chelsea' which, indeed, is where it is and self describes as a Malaysian restaurant. It goes on to state 'Many of our dishes represent what is known as Malaysian Cuisine, supplemented with speciality dishes from other parts of Asia' and this is evidenced from the menu which includes a substantial number of Chinese dishes.

promenades and streetscapes
Battersea is situated in the London Borough of Wandsworth, on the south bank of the River Thames opposite Chelsea. It was opened in 1858.
Battersea Park is an 200 acre (83-hectare) green space: by comparison Hyde Park covers 142 hectares (350 acres) and Kensington Gardens covers 111 hectares (275 acres),giving an overall area of 253 hectares (625 acres), making the combined area larger than the Principality of Monaco (196 ha/484 acres) but smaller than New York's Central Park (341 ha/843 acres)..
The park occupies what used to be a mix of marshland reclaimed from the Thames, and land formerly used for market gardens that served London.
Formerly known as "Battersea Fields", it was once a popular spot for duelling. On March 21, 1829, the Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Winchilsea met on Battersea fields to settle a matter of honour.
The original designs for the park were laid out between 1846 and 1864.
Battersea Park hosted the first football game played under the rules of the recently formed Football Association on 9 January 1864
