I just tried the "Now tastes even better!" branded Tom Yum bowl purchased locally on clearance. I can see why it was priced to sell. Even on clearance, I paid too much. While I don't remember the exact flavor of the original formulation, I am quite sure it was better. I give it two stars because the noodles are good and hearty and the ingredients package is better than you standard dried out Ramen refuse. But the broth isn't that great. That is, unless you like spicy and salty. There's nothing wrong with that I suppose, but there is too little flavor to back it up AND there is an aftertaste. 53% of my daily RDA of sodium from this little bowl is just crazy. I finished the bowl, but sadly didn't really enjoy it, and won't be getting any more of the new and improved Annie Chun products any time soon.
