bit late but "zien eruit als" is purely visual whereas "lijken op" can be any kind of resemblance.
Perfect for putting on top of your hot coffee or tea so that it rests on the rim and the butterscotch softens with the heat. Don't leave it on too long though!

Why do we still put "als" if "ziet eruit" already means "look like" ??

"Je ziet er goed uit" means "You look good" whilst "Je ziet eruit als ..." means "You look like ..." So I guess they wanted to say "zien eruit" means looking but not in the sense of watching but of appearing.

"...es sieht aus als.." in German is the same construction/idea..

"Es sieht aus als" is correct, but is comparative, as in "it looks as if..." and therefore would be a mismatch for this sentence.
