I have a recipe that calls for egg noodles. Are Hokkien noodles the same? Is
anything else also called egg noodles?

i am sure there must be a difference, but i dont think it would make any
difference to your recipe, if that makes sense. you could even use rice
noodles or whatever.

San Remo Egg Noodles: http://www.san-remo.com.au/nidi.asp

Or, if you're in a Jewish area, look for Sniders Egg Noodles.

Are they the same as Hokkien? Can't help ... dunno.

Yupe, Hokkien noodles have a round cross section.

What I call egg noodles look like fettcini - ie flat.

Not necessarily. Egg noodles are found in flat, round, wide, thin
varieties.

egg noodles are in your pasta section of the supermarket... One major brand
has them and also we have ones that comes from the barossa.. not sure if
they are just in SA though.

dont think it would be the same as a hokkien noddle.

Hokkien noodles are round and somewhat chewy and have a very disctint
flavour. They might have egg in them, but they're aren't what you
would call "egg noodles".

Egg noodles are kind of like fettucini, but a little more delicate. A
good, cheap, local brand is "Chang's" which you should be able to find
in "the Asian section" of your local supermarket.

I've been getting them for _years_. They're great to keep in the
pantry if you want a quick, inexpensive meal.

Someone else mentioned that San Remo makes them. I've never seen them
before...unless they mean egg pasta....but then all "real" pasta has
egg in it to give it the protein....blah....

If your recipe is an "Asian" style, look for the Chang's noodles.
