When I heard that Sketch had opened a branch in Abuja, I knew it was only a matter of time before my wallet and I showed up. I also knew they served Egyptian cuisine and had been looking forward to trying it for the first time, so coming here was quite exciting.
First, let's talk about looks. Walking into Sketch is, quite literally, like walking into a storybook. The restaurant is created with 2D/3D features from top to bottom, creating a bizarre but intriguing atmosphere. It also adds to the overall dining experience, which is something you always want when you go out to dine.
To the kebab and kofta: I was ecstatic when I spotted kebab because I honestly believe North-Eastern Africa knows how to create banging meat. Sketch's kebab wasn't really kebab-like (I almost don't want to talk about it), but the naan that came with it was delicious and fresh. Unfortunately, the naan, fries, and beverages (I had the Mooly and Arnold Palmer cocktails) were the only things I really liked about this place, which is a shame.
Basically, if you're going to eat here, bring a big budget because it's not cheap and the amounts aren't proportionate. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for a date because it's really loud, but it's perfect for lunch with friends or a night out.

We are obsessing over Trang Doan food photography skills, she is every ones favorite in our team. She captures the every best of any type/kind of food. We couldn't help but get so hungry.
We asked Trang a few questions about some beginners tips, keep reading to hear what she has to say.
1. What inspires you the most about photography?
Well, I'd say the thing that inspires me most about photography is that it helps broaden my perspectives and challenge my creativity. I believe photography somehow manipulates me into looking at things a bit sharper and harder where it can actually draw and lure my senses of awareness and aesthetics out of their shells. Nothing about photography is easy. There is always something challenging about it. And I think the challenge might be the very thing that inspires me most above all.
2. Why do you love photography?
Hmm, for this question, I don't really have a specific answer to it. All I can tell you is that my passion for photography happened really unexpectedly. I stumbled on Pexels website on Christmas Eve last year and I thought it was a really cool website. Back then I didn't think my photos were any sort of good to upload but I did it anyway. And a few months later, I realised I was really into food photography so I started taking pictures of my food and post them on Pexels and Instagram. I've received many compliments and encouragements afterwards which is a great incentive for me to keep up with my works. And the best thing about photography is that I start to see beauty in ordinary things, which has never happened before, which again helps me love my used-to-be-boring life a bit more every day.
3. List two photography tips for a beginner?
My first tip would be don't be afraid to try and be different. The more photos you take, the better you will become and more interesting little things will come around. So, don't be afraid of lifting your camera off the shelf just because you think you won't produce any good pictures at the end of the day. Give it a try even though the first 1,000 photos of yours will be anything but some mesmerising disasters. I learnt my way through food photography just by practising whenever I could (and of course trying my best to be patient with what I've come to love). I do believe practise cannot always make perfect but it makes you better than you were the day before. And that is really something.
As a beginner photographer, I really recommend my fellow friends to learn through others' experiences, either on photography websites with intricately well-written tips and lessons (a lot of them are free and worth the time!) or just through observing the way they do through their posts on Instagram or the Internet. Go one step at a time and avoid spending too much on your kits when you're just a beginner. Things can change a lot, especially your photography style and preferences.
