We left 100 HKG each and the staff was extremely pleased.

Small oasis, but a really nice staff. I think the management at SFO is extremely militant, they could learn from the management at HKG
I don't believe tipping is normally a thing in Hong Kong. If anything, I'm told it's often found offensive (i.e. the implication that the need to tip indicates the service person is beneath you in some way) but I can't really say for sure.

Do people normally tip bartenders in Centurion Lounges?
