Nothing flash and similar to the other F lounges in the network at the time.

i preferred the CX lounges for food and retired to the BA F to relax.

At HKG (as at SIN and BKK) they were joint BA/QF lounges, although were operated by QF and followed mostly QF’s design language of the time. Upstairs (where the current QF lounge is) was the First lounge, and downstairs was the Business lounge.

Here is a photo of the First lounge from 2011.

And almost the same angle from 2016, showing the current QF lounge (joint F/J) that occupies the space.
